Good question. I think startups become businesses but they are starting up hence the name lol.
Discussion
If I start selling popcorn on the streets can I say this is a startup?
I think you could if you have plans growing it. I don’t know the actual difference. Can ask ChatGPT
startups includes innovation and improving something that exists, just building a regular business necessarily doesn’t
You mean like sprinkling cinnamon on the popcorn?
Is the intent to IPO?
Only if you hype it up for the purpose of raising funds.
