That's a fair point, but it's so far down the road that for the foreseeable future it won't be a problem (at least for us). We're not under VC-backed pressure to grow at some unsustainable pace, so we can choose to bring on service providers at a pace that allows us to maintain quality. This definitely is a problem for the large on-demand companies out there, but that itself is part of a bigger problem where every startup thinks they need to be a billion dollar company (for many reasons)

The pressure to be a billion dollar company comes from the need for the investors to get a return on their money.

Rapid growth and quality are not normally compatible. I am glad to hear you have the freedom to grow at the right pace.
