Most companies come and go, as do organizations. Even former great ones can collapse or merge with others.
Most do, but not all. Here’s two really good studies of companies and organizations that have lasted for a very long time:
When I first started following Web 2.0 companies over 15 years, Zoho was an early player. Since then, some companies became very successful and many failed.

Not only does it still exist, but it is rolling out new features: Zoho’s pipeline-centric CRM solution built for small businesses gets new features
I’m happy to see it is a going concern. It’s easy to think companies should “go big or go home”. It’s better to think that there is another path to success. Zoho seems to have found that path.
