Scalable startups have many pros and but one huge cons.

Scalable startups with decent business model got tons of VC and inflate over parent team capabilities. 
And now, it’s time to sell it before it collapse on own weight.

I’d rather see smaller teams busting their butts over code, interface, marketing … and growing the way they can accomodate to grow.

Perfect example is friend of mine (app developer) with team of 4–5 people, running a FB game, growing nicely in terms of players & profits.
After receiving 1+M$ VC, he hired few more programmers, graphics designers, support ... invested in servers & marketing and the number of players grew 10x within 2 months. And the database did collapse, there was noone on team able to run 500k player (with tons of variables per each) database intact.
VC did consider it as minor loss but the whole team, company and project went bust.
