Is Integrity Funding a startup? Founded in 2007, it has seen 12,443% growth over the past three years and is currently the 4th fastest growing company in the US. Website: http://www.integrityfunding.com/index.html http://www.integrityfunding.com/index.html Reference: http://www.inc.com/inc5000/profile/integrity-funding http://www.inc.com/inc5000/profile/integrity-funding There are a lot of companies on that list of the 5,000 fastest growing companies in the US that I (and perhaps others) wouldn't consider "startups" at first glance. Also, in your argument you reference your "startup" but say that the company failed because of "lack of execution and growth." But wouldn't, by your own definition, your company not have been a startup because, after all, it was just another idea that fell off the idea tree and failed to grow?
