A startup is a company in its early stages of development, usually started by 1–3 founders. Startups are designed to grow beyond their original founder to solve a problem by developing a product, service, or platform that addresses an unmet market demand. Founders typically finance their startups themselves, but may also try to attract outside investment. Funding sources include family and friends, venture capitalists, crowdfunding, and loans.?
Startups can differ from other businesses in that they are free to experiment more to achieve their goals. Some say that a startup's success is based on three core components: a strong product, a well-researched go-to-market strategy, and a strong organizational culture.?
There are different types of startups, including:
A startup company is a newly formed business with particular momentum behind it based on perceived demand for its product or service. The intention of a startup is to grow rapidly as a result of offering something that addresses a particular market gap.
A startup is an entrepreneurial venture in the early stages of operations, typically created for resolving real-life problems. As many startups solve society's needs, they attract investors and funders because of the tremendous growth opportunities.
A startup is a newly created company that relies on information and communication technologies (ICT) to market its products or services. It features a scalable business model in which its priority is to grow quickly and smoothly.

A founder is someone who has an idea for a business or product and transforms that idea into a company. Startups often feature multiple partners with unique skills and build a company's groundwork before hiring their first employee. An entrepreneur starts or invests in a company as a source of income.
Both Oxford Dictionary and Cambridge Dictionary advise the hyphenated start-up noun. While Merriam-Webster claims startup in one word to be an alternate version. So do, The Economist, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
