So true. I think a startup should be what it literally denotes. A new business.

So true. I think a startup should be what it literally denotes. A new business.
- rorykoehler 8y agoA new business that isn't limited by local only distribution.
- bhengaij 8y agoI think that's a post appstore or post web definition. I'm all for unsexy startups if they can turn the entire city into a customer and yet not be relevant outside of the city
- michaelgrafl 8y agoThen we wouldn't need the word "startup" at all. But since people intuitively see a difference between opening up a deli and starting a social network, I think the word has a use. I think people associcate startups with technology, high risk (compared to a proven business model that has worked a thousand times for other people), and potential for fast growth (with regards to the investment). I don't think that excludes lifestyle-ventures.
