I don't understand your problem. A startup is simply a company trying to get off the ground. Once it is established with customers, a product and a stable source of revenue, no matter how small (or big) it is or how much growth it is experiencing, it is no longer a startup. It is an established company. Frankly, I don't understand people who try to widen the definition of startups to include nearly every non-public company on the planet.
