The sad transition between startup and corporate

Tired, yes, a heavy machine, yes too, but isn’t this the destiny of all companies when they move away from the entrepreneurial into the corporate? I recruited for ebay from 2002 to 2006, the first two years were exciting, all the people hired were highly creative on top of having a substantial university and business background. Then, the profiles requested moved towards the standardized powerpoint/excel diskjockey and the entrepreneurial spirit was gone, like a balloon without enough helium.
