That's demand driven and organic, at least, and it's not the first thing that comes to mind with hypergrowth, it's just scale.

Instead, I think of hypergrowth as a supply-side attempt to capture a larger market in a highly inorganic way and to also capture the absurdly high valuation that comes with it. Usually through VC.

I think what you are referring to is the economical model of growth at all costs (for this I use the term blitzscaling)

I think of hyperscaling as more like growth faster than what the team can manage, for any reason.
