"استارتاپ شرکتی است که برای رشد سریع طراحی شده است. تاسیس شدن جدید به تنهایی یک شرکت را استارتاپ نمیکند. همچنین نیازی نیست که یک استارتاپ بر روی فناوری کار کند یا منابع سرمایهگذاری جسورانه دریافت کند یا به نوعی "خروج" داشته باشد."
— Paul Graham
Simplified Meaning:
A startup is a special type of company that aims to expand quickly and significantly. Just being a new business doesn't automatically mean it's a startup. For example, a small local bakery that just opened isn't a startup if it only plans to serve its neighborhood. Instead, think of a startup as a company like a tech firm that creates an app intended to reach millions of users around the world in a short time. Importantly, a startup doesn't need to be about high technology, get investor money, or plan to be bought out by a bigger company. Its main goal is rapid growth, reaching a large market quickly. This means a local food delivery service might be a startup if it plans to expand to many cities within a year, showing that the focus is more on the speed of growth than the industry or initial funding. If you want to start a business and call it a startup, concentrate on how fast you can grow it rather than just the fact that it's new.
