This is a misleading title. Redfin isn't a startup, they're a 12 year old company founded in 2004.

- eknight15 10y agoThis is one of my biggest pet peeves. "Startup" is now synonymous with "Tech company that isn't Google, Apple, Microsoft, or Amazon." PALANTIR IS NO LONGER A STARTUP THANK YOU http://www.businessinsider.com/palantir-employee-stock-buyback-liquidity-event-2016-5 http://www.businessinsider.com/palantir-employee-stock-buyba...
- discardorama 10y agoI think a more accurate classification (from the popular journalism viewpoint) would be that a startup is a tech company that hasn't gone public yet.
- eknight15 10y agoI agree, but I worked at a tech company that IPO'd in 2014, and to this day they still get referred to as a startup. E.g. Shopify, Etsy, GrubHub, Care.com, Zendesk, etc.
