Why is Laravel a good choice for startups?

Laravel hits the sweet spot for startups across three dimensions. Speed to MVP: Laravel ships with auth, queues, scheduled jobs, mail, and admin tooling out of the box, so an MVP that would take 12 weeks in a less batteries included framework ships in 6 to 8 weeks. Hiring runway: Laravel has the largest pool of mid level PHP engineers globally at startup friendly rates, so when seed money lands and you need to scale the team, the talent pool exists. Scale path: Laravel scales to 100 million plus requests per day with Octane plus Horizon, so the MVP does not need rewriting when product market fit lands. Companies like Square, Pfizer, BBC, and Disney run Laravel in production.
