  Better to keep that in a separate thread i guess .

  To count as a startup you need a product. If you're freelancing or contracting or consulting, you are the means of production but the product belongs to whoever hires you.

    I know, I'm not claiming to be a startup. I am asking if the "/" in the title means AND or if it means OR. Also, from this: "By company, I mean something that generates (or is intending to generate) revenues" Nowhere it says "only startups" or "with a product", so I'm just asking if it's a question specifically for one person startups or for one person companies.

      I'd be interested to hear from you. I think freelancers fall into a grey area because while there are freelancers that treat their work as a business with the intent of scaling/automation/removing themselves as much as possible from admin tasks, there are also others that treat it very much like a high-paying job, without commitments. Share if it feels it applies to you.
