Gazelle Company

Remember when Amazon first started? It seemed to have become an overnight success to be the internet mogul it is today.

Almost everyone looks to Amazon when purchasing items online. Competitors can’t seem to catch up to them. In the beginning, Amazon was a gazelle company, growing rapidly, and with the ability to escape the claws of the bigger competitors. In years to come, it continued to grow, almost doubling its profits over the course of four years. The company just grew until it became a force to be reckoned with.

Other companies that had this kind of success include Google, Facebook, and Microsoft.
