The source uses the following definition to define startups:

  1. Innovative by design: both the product and/or business model are innovative;
  2. Tech enabled: either proprietary tech/software or business processes heavily enabled by tech;
  3. Rapidly scaling/scalable: once product-market fit is found, achieve high growth by leveraging its platform;
  4. Global ambitions: related with #3, startups have global (or at least international) ambitions;
  5. Venture backed: VC-backed companies mostly meet the previous criteria. But only 19% of companies in the dataset are venture backed.
