What are the differences between scaling a small business vs. scaling a VC funded business?

Oldie, but a goodie

Ah yes I read this before! I wonder if there's a happy medium..

What would the happy medium look like to you?

Humankind Candles

Maybe I've been stuck in VC funded world for too long but I just have some concerns scaling /humankind without venture funding - not sure how I can get to 5%+ revenue per month but I would be happy with even 2.5-3%+.

Humankind is ramen profitable right now, but I would like to scale it roughly so that I can quit my day job so that would be selling around 100 candles a month!

Does /humankind need to scale? Or can you operate profitably as is?
