Companies like Dropbox, once characterized by their lean operations, face challenges when transitioning to a high-funding environment. Despite having a great product, suitable market fit, and effective viral distribution, Dropbox's ambitious plans were undermined by a lack of a robust and cohesive business strategy. Their situation illustrates that financial resources alone are insufficient for sustained success; a solid strategy is crucial for leveraging those resources effectively.
