Anecdote: Mealsquares has to interface with around 17 companies.
How many of these are of the same type, e.g., material suppliers?
In a startup (~50 employees) that I worked in we had
more than 25 tech suppliers (mostly cloud-based software service providers)
more than 15 suppliers specialized in the business domain including print and payment service providers.
more than 20 other suppliers, e.g. HR, office
many clients, with more than 15 that require special handling
I totally agree with the core point that coordination is a limiting factor.
off the top of my head:
3 shipping logistics
7-8 material suppliers
1 supplier of physical premises
1 supplier of machinery and support
2 payment services providers
1 banking service
1 loan servicer
3 e-commerce service providers
