An interesting secondary poll is: Where does a startup stop being a startup in terms of revenue.


I don't see revenue taking part in the discussion other than showing you have a true business model. Having a stable, profitable business model means you're a small business and not a startup.

I also tend to start calling a company with 30+ employees a small business rather than a startup. You can't support that many employees without being a stable profitable company (ideally I suppose).


err, any company with decent funding can easily support over 30 ppl


Funding doesn't need to be able to support 30 people in order to be decent. What's decent depends on what the company needs.
