What Makes a Startup?

A definition by Russell D'Souza, Co-founder of SeatGeek


"It stops being a startup when people don't feel as though what they are doing has impact. I spend a lot of my time cutting partnership deals with other companies and you can tell which companies people feel really invested and which companies people don't really give a crap. They are just going through the motions. I've seen tech companies that might traditionally be considered a startup that are squarely in the second camp. So I don't think the tipping point is a certain number of people, but an atmosphere that people individually and collectively can't will the company to success.”
