I know this will sound trite, but this is NOT a startup, and I dont know why the editors techcrunch cant seem to figure that out.
> nVision, the startup looking to be the Salesforce of design, has officially achieved unicorn status with the close of a $115 million Series F round,
You are no longer a startup when you are on series F
- yread 8y agoHow do you define a startup? I thought it's usually defined as a company that's more focused on growth than profit and return to shareholders. That would not limit the number of funding rounds
- treve 8y agoBefore the start-up hype I think in the Netherlands you need to be in business for 3 years to no longer be considered one. But that definition has shifted quite a bit there too. The company you describe I would describe as any typical corporation. In my head I still see start-ups as a scrappy, small team in a fairly young business. The dictionary definition says: 1 : the act or an instance of setting in operation or motion 2 : a fledgling business enterprise Both of these definitions suggest it really just describes 'new' ventures.
