Your example company would eventually be awesome to own. It's annual revenue after y years would be r(y) = 12 * 2000 * 2^y. After 10 years, the annual revenue would $24,576,000. After 20, $25,165,824,000. After 30 years, $25,769,803,776,000.

After 30 years of growth, your company is the size of several countries, GDP-wise.

Assuming zero inflation in our monetary supply and thus zero price inflation, this is undoubtedly an unrealistic assumption.

Sure growth has to slow eventually, but it isn't unrealistic for a successful company to grow 100 percent per year for five years.
