Yu discusses her triumph of completing her Mt Everest climb in this chapter, and how instead of celebrating she was hooked up to an IV, exhausted. With this she parallels the start-up of a business, how it has reached it's initial goals, but in order to continue growing you need to push pass that initial summit and continue your journey.
At this point the start-up needs to look at their goals they have accomplished, set new ones and seek advice on how to keep their business afloat. Measurements of the different areas in the company are a great way to do this, looking back through the year and seeing how things fared as well as creating new goals for the next year.
I made my own connection with the show "Stranger Things" as I was hearing how Kate Bush has become popular again with her song, "Running Up That Hill." While not all of the lyrics to the song apply and not all businesses are fighting evil forces, the show has been steadfast in how the monsters at the beginning of the show end up growing in complexity causing the 'kids' to have to be more creative in their ways of destroying it. The clip below is from a scene in the fourth season, while all ends well in this scene, the viewer instinctively knows that in order to survive the cast must come up with a more permanent solution.
