100k MRR does not mean that much if you've got staff costs. Let's break down super simple costs:

Office - 5-10k/mo Employees - 10k/mo ea Servers - 5k/mo Legal/accounting/etc - 5k/mo Misc - 10k/mo

All of a sudden with 10 employees you're losing 20-30k/mo. Want to hire 5 new amazing engineers? Now you're losing 80+k/mo.

100k mrr is great if it is you by yourself or a tiny team, but to scale you need a lot more.
