Is it really a 'startup', or just a 'small business'?
Talk explicitly about the distinction between a newly founded company and a startup.
hmmm, I guess this boild down to how a startup is defined, good point!
Ain’t all companies used to be startups?
some businesses are just businesses, not startups, and thats ok.
Well, no, because then they aren't a startup but a small business, surely?
if a startup is not a small business, what is it?

When is a startup not a startup anymore. Are Facebook and Google still startups?
Why"startup"? It's just a businesses, nothing special
