Startup

Startup is an early-stage company designed to develop and scale a product or service under conditions of uncertainty, typically aiming for rapid growth and a repeatable business model. In venture capital, a Startup is often characterized by high risk, high potential upside, and reliance on equity financing, and Startup success is commonly measured by traction, market size, and scalability.
