What is a "startup" actually

Hi, I'm a bore. So ...
You forgive me everything, but I can’t keep silent anymore. I'd like to clarify.

The word "startup" is now applied exclusively to webdwon internet projects. Whatever a new social network, they are surely called a startup. Web service done - also a startup. Grrr!

People of the Earth, remember:
Startup (from the English start-up) is a young small company, which, as a rule, has limited resources and has just begun its activity . In most cases, this is a young company whose activities are not related to the Internet and webdanol, but to any innovative technology (on the Internet, nanotechnology, medicine, and anything else). Such companies used to be called high-tech startups, now they are just startups.

A startup is not a website, not a project, not a web service, not a technology. This is a company. Calling a web project a startup is just as incorrect as calling a company an Internet site.

Well and not to be unfounded, here are some links to information for thought:
- Russian Wikipedia and non-Russian Wikipedia
- thefreedictionary.com
dictionary - Merriam-Webster dictionary

Thank you for your attention. See you again.
