So... how long does it take before a company stops being called a startup?
Once it starts actually generating profits id assume. Or in most cases once it gets bought out.
Yeah, the definition is (or at least used to be) that a startup doesn’t have a business model yet.
Probably once they can stand on their own merits and make a profit. So never in the case of AI companies.
Lmao, right. 1.5 Billy just laying around? Probably not much of a startup anymore…
