Definition of a startup!

What defines a startup?

What is your definition of a startup?

Someone in business for more than a year? Someone looking for funding to grow or to start? Just curious, because there seem to be a lot of people in the “startup” space but it seems that some are in that space for years? When does your “startup” title disappear does anyone know?

Another random post from Post on a Monday!

  • I don't think being a startup is really about how long you've been around - although the idea of 'starting' does seem to imply that you're new on the scene. I think it's more a matter of other people's perception.

    When people think startup they imagine...
    • a small talented group
    • relatively young
    • limited or no funding
    • an at least loosely web-based project

    It doesn't really matter how long you've been around. So long as your project hits most of these points, people will think you're a startup. That's mostly all that matters.
