Blitzscaling
Definition
Deliberately prioritising breakneck growth over efficiency, accepting heavy losses and chaos to win a big market before competitors can.
Why it matters
Blitzscaling can create a market leader fast, but it only makes sense in winner-takes-most markets and can be fatal if the economics never work.
Example
A delivery startup floods ten cities at once, losing money on every order, betting that being first to scale locks out rivals.
