Why are ten year old billion dollar companies with back offices in other states still called startups?

• Aloha 11y ago
  Often they're even publicly traded billion dollar companies. I'd like to propose the phrase "new-economy company" to replace startup.

    Or "post-startup" or "previous startup" or "startup alum" (like YC alum)
    • shardinator 11y ago
      or 'started' not sure if I'm joking

        Brilliant.
