The global activist Srdja Popović once told me that the goal of a revolution should be to become mainstream, to be mundane and ordinary.

Growth. It’s a lifelong process. First it’s physical, mental, and emotional growth. Then begins the lifelong journey of keeping your body, mind, and soul healthy while picking up wisdom along the way. For organizations, it’s no different. Growth is in every company’s DNA. If you don’t grow, you cease to exist. But growth isn’t always JUST about revenue (although that helps).

When startups are deciding where to locate, many consider setting up shop in “tech clusters” that have developed labor markets for the specialized staff that startups need to grow. Yet these areas are dense with talent for a reason: It’s often due to the presence of large firms with whom these fledgling companies must compete. In a new study, researchers found that when large firms increase their hiring, startups in the same location are forced to offer 10% higher salaries, while reducing their
