I’m pretty sure 99% of the companies people on this website work for could be described as “just a website” if you want to be snarky

Yeah, but there is physical and people infrastructure behind many websites. Uber/DoorDash/Lyft have drivers and cars. My organization has large parking garages. GoPro makes hardware. Zoom has horrendous bandwidth costs and requires a ton of servers.

They all have some element of their business which doesn't meaningfully scale exponentially.

What does EventBrite have that would be like that?

- Sales staff to get event organizers to use their platform and help with setup. - Customer support to deal with issues. - Maybe loss and employees to deal with fraud of some kind (since payments are involved).
