It's about employee count for me. Once you hit 100+ employees, you're dealing with corporate problems, not startup problems.

When the founders stop wearing hoodies to investor meetings. That's when you know it's no longer a startup.

Unpopular opinion: The term "startup" is just marketing BS. You're either a business or you're not. Stop romanticizing struggle.

A startup stops being a startup when it finds a repeatable, scalable business model. Everything before that is just experimenting.

I feel like a startup is a company that is built with an idea, once the idea is built and they just stick to the same idea with the mindset “Yeh ek cheez toa chal gayi, bas abhi bethke khao” without coming up with anything new they just become a stagnant company

Death doesn't only happen when a heart stops beating. For waiting is death, boredom is death, despair is death, and awaiting an unknown future is also death.

Don’t try to go fast when building a startup. Take it slow and enjoy the process. Fast doesn’t guarantee consistency but being slow and steady does. If you wanna raise funding and flex, that’s a different story 😄
