High gross margins

The more money you make per item sold, the better.

Summary

Most companies we focus on in Blitzscaling have 60%, 70%, or 80% gross margins.
Operational challenges scale based on revenue or unit sales volume, not gross margin.
Even though gross margins mean a lot to the seller, they are irrelevant to the buyer.
