startup company
New tech venture
A startup company is a newly established business, typically in technology or innovation-driven fields, that aims for rapid growth and often operates with venture capital funding.
Startups are characterized by uncertainty, scalability ambitions, and a focus on disrupting existing markets or creating new ones.
The term implies a company still finding its footing—developing products, building customer bases, and refining business models.
