A software company's $1 billion

There is an unwritten law in the industry that an independent software company will encounter an insurmountable hurdle when it comes to $1 billion. From a historical perspective, 16 companies have achieved sales of $1 billion, but currently there are only 6 companies. The 10 companies have disappeared. PeopleSoft, Siebel, Informix... these companies do not mean they cannot support themselves, but they no longer have the value of investment, but are acquired or gradually extinct. Investors are optimistic about companies with growth potential. Why is it hard to grow at $1 billion? It seems that there are still some rules behind the development of software companies. A software product family can achieve 1 billion, but it will be saturated. How can we seek a breakthrough? Only product lines can be expanded, but it is often dangerous to expand product lines. It will bring it to a strange market, it will face huge competition, and the resource allocation will not keep up, and so on. Many companies have also entered the new market, resulting in the final failure due to various errors. Bea's new expansion of AquaLogic also has such an intention, and I don't know what the result is. (To be continued)
