Good question. I think startups become businesses but they are starting up hence the name lol.

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?

i’d buy some of that bitcorn

🤣😂

One definition that I think makes sense is "startups are orgs operating under extreme uncertainty". By that definition, selling popcorn is probably not a startup.

the extreme uncertainty of if and when each kernel will pop

Yes 💯

Is the intent to IPO?

Only if you hype it up for the purpose of raising funds.
