An interesting debate about small vs big companies is going on between SixApart’s Mena Trott and 37 Signals’ Jason Fried.
The Signals’ whole schtick is getting apps built with small teams. Mena responds, explaining why she and her husband expanded to a bigger, more traditional, funded company when given the choice to stay small or grow.
Personally I dig the 37S’ small teams should “embrace constraints” approach because it makes me feel like I can get together a couple of friends and make something happen. However, I can’t say for sure that I would have turned down the opportunities to expand that Mena and Ben were given with MT, either.
