Definition of a start-up:
“..any original new business initiative by a founding
team that is focused on a high-growth, risk/reward
profile, scalability, and market leadership….
The startup phase often ends when a company crosses
certain growth milestones, most often when it hits
profitability, is publicly traded, or is acquired.”
(Kidder, David. “The Startup Playbook.”)
