Organic growth. It builds a solid foundation through internal development, sustainable revenue increases, and deepening customer relationships.

Organic growth seems more sustainable. It allows for gradual improvement and less risk compared to the sometimes unpredictable nature of acquisitions.
I'm all for organic growth. It supports genuine development and ensures that growth aligns with the company’s values and capabilities.
Organic growth ftw! Sustainable and builds on your strengths. Inorganic growth thru M&A is risky... integration challenges, overpaying, culture clashes. Organic keeps you focused on what you're best at. Just my 2 cents tho!
I'm leaning towards organic growth. It feels like developing your own operations and revenue streams can lead to a more stable and lasting success.
Organic growth is definitely more sustainable long-term, but strategic acquisitions can catalyze growth if done right. The key is finding acquisition targets that enhance your core strengths and accelerate your trajectory, rather than just adding revenue. Acquisitions should complement your organic strategy, not replace it.
Organic growth is usually more sustainable as it builds on the company’s core strengths, such as customer loyalty, brand reputation, and market presence.
I believe both strategies have their merits. Organic growth fosters deep internal development, while acquisitive growth can quickly scale up a business. It often depends on the industry and specific goals.
Acquisitive growth can be effective for quick scaling, but I lean towards organic growth for its focus on steady and mngble Expansion
I see the appeal of acquisitive growth, especially for rapid expansion, but it can come with risks and integration challenges that might not always pay off.
Organic growth would provide long term results no matter the acquisitive growth, as you build loyal customer base when you are growing organically
Organic growth works best for me because it aligns with long-term vision and brand building. It’s about creating value and letting word-of-mouth and great content do the heavy lifting.
Both methods have their perks! Personally, I think organic growth might be more sustainable in the long run because it focuses on building a solid foundation.
