What makes a start up different than any other business?

  The urge to aggressively, rapidly grow.

    This is a distinction without difference. You could've also said, "Startups have fewer employees" for instance. How does the urge to grow separate a startup from a business in the desire to obtain low cost debt?

  Investing in getScale is vastly different to investing in IBM. Lending to getScale is vastly different to lending to IBM. Therefore the debt/equity argument and balance is vastly difference.

  From a lenders perspective: Credit worthiness, free cash flow, ability to service loans, lack of collateral.
