    The company was founded almost 20 years ago. At what point is it no longer a startup?

      I think they are confused on thinking that any private company is a startup.

      I worked for a company that was roughly 15 years old at the time and still very much in startup mode. In the end, it was a mechanism to shovel lots of money into the pocket of the CEO and some of the investors. It’s why they never grew, aside from incompetence.

      There’s a company in Brazil that advertise itself as a “100 years old startup”, completely ridiculous.

        I suspect that’s the point?

          I guess the point is talking about how they’re still disruptive and innovative, buzz words associated with startups.

      When they are profitable I’m guessing. Usually startups are suppose to grow as fast as they can even if it means running a deficit. Pretty ridiculous imo.

      It’s like when you have a shitty kid that never grows up and is still pissing the bed 20 years later.

        The bedwetting is probably a symptom of trauma inflicted by shitty parenting. Usually is.
