Mods are asleep 😴

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.

A business generates revenue and profitability vs a start up generates expenses in view of becoming a business

Startups don’t become businesses until the third trimester.

A startup is an enterprise that has not yet turned a profit. Businesses also don't turn a profit nowadays, but have figured out how to launder hot-new Fed loans to their shareholders; making them an indispensable part of the "economy".

A startup is a business that's.... starting up....

Yes they are just businesses. I've seen 8 year old companies call themselves startups. Startup is just a word that tech businesses use to make working overtime seem like a cool idea.

Startups are to business what pets are to wild animals.

Did you know ?: Unlike Zuckerberg with Facebook, @fiatjaf started the Nostr to chase women, away.

Business must’ve profit. Startups are just scam. 😂

Yes they are business. Startup is just a buzz word for investors to throw their money at them.

A startup is a business with no plan. 😆

A business isn't a business until it makes money. A startup is the attempt

Startup is the term used by the entity asking for money to cover the expenses incurred after seeing a Get Rich Quick video.

Nope. They are bums with a legal entity for the purpose of "raising capital".

Startup is baby and Business is Adult

A startup is a business but a business may not be a startup
