Cute, but in the literal sense, I don't think you can call Apple, a 30+ year old company, a startup. The word is "Start" + "up". Time probably has the most to do with it, because your not a startup after more than a couple years. If your still small after that long, you're just an underperforming company. Growth probably has a to do with it as well, because the bigger and more successful you grow, the closer you are to reaching your company's maximum potential. Tons of employees aren't typical of company's that just start. So there's my logic!
