A startup's definition is comprehensive and pretty vague, from single

founders with no team to some of the biggest tech companies globally.

People still think of companies such as Google (22 years old),

Facebook (16 years old), and Uber (11 years old) as startups.

get heavily compensated for your effort, you may no longer be in the
