Startup Definitions Vary
A startup company (startup or start-up) is an
entrepreneurial venture which is typically a newly
emerged, fast-growing business that aims to meet a
marketplace need by developing or offering an innovative
product, process or service.
- Wikipedia
One thing we can all agree on: the key
attribute of a startup is its ability to
grow… a startup is a company
designed to scale very
quickly. It is this focus on growth
unconstrained by geography which
differentiates startups from small
businesses. A restaurant in one town is not
a startup, nor is a franchise a startup.
- Forbes, 2013
• Less than $50 million revenue
run rate (forward 12 months);
• Less than 100 employees;
• Worth less than $500 million, on paper
or otherwise.
- TechCrunch, 2014
A startup is a young company that is just beginning
to develop. Startups are usually small and initially financed and
operated by a handful of founders or one
individual. These companies offer a product or service
that is not currently being offered elsewhere in the market, or
that the founders believe is being offered in an inferior manner.
- Investopedia
• Till up to five years from the
date of incorporation.
• If its turnover does not exceed 25 crores
in the last five financial years.
• If it is working towards an
innovation development,
deployment, or services driven by
technology or intellectual property.
- India Ministry of Commerce, 2015
