What is a Technology Startup?
- pg 17y ago"Paul Graham has a nice article on how to start a startup up but does not get into defining the term technology startup." I'd already covered that here: http://www.paulgraham.com/wealth.html http://www.paulgraham.com/wealth.html
- lanceweatherby 17y agoThanks for the pointer PG. Great essay. There are like a dozen gem quotes in there. I will update my post with a pointer. To pull directly from the article a technology startup is "measurement and leverage, where measurement comes from working with a small group, and leverage from developing new techniques." If I pull from chunks I come up with: A small group of people inventing a new way to solve a difficult problem that is hard for others to duplicate. Is that far off from how you would sum it up?
- Ardit20 17y ago"Technology startups make unique products that people want." So basically they are just a business.
- smithjchris 17y agoExcellent comment +1.
- mattculbreth 17y agoIt's probably easier to list a few things that are NOT technology startups (at least in 2009): consulting company, staffing company, technology product resale company, ecommerce site.
