Startup: Community for Entrepreneurs
                     START-UP: COMMUNITY FOR ENTREPRENEURS
WHAT IS A START-UP?
A startup is a new business that aims 
to provide a service or product often 
in a large or growing market to solve 
a specific and sometimes difficult 
problem. These businesses set goals 
to make a significant impact for their 
customers or clients in a short period 
of time and to expand production 
rapidly.

GROWTH
Depending on how new a business is 
and the stakeholders providing 
resources to support it, startups and 
small businesses may have 
limitations in terms of funding, 
staffing or production.

FINANCIAL INVESTMENT
Many startups begin with an 
entrepreneur who develops an idea, 
creates a business plan and seeks 
out investors to provide funding that 
helps them hire necessary staff, 
begin producing the goods or 
services and pay for other overhead 
or manufacturing costs.

LONGEVITY
Startups are also known for being 
less predictable in terms of success, 
especially in the long-term. This is 
likely due to the fact that they are 
very focused on expansion.
