Depends whether you count YC as a startup. It is in some ways, isn't in others.

Why does it matter? I don't think entrepreneur implies startup. Someone who starts a restaurant and then a dry cleaner and then a hair salon is still a serial entrepreneur.

Entrepreneur implies starting a business. All startups are businesses. But not all businesses are startups.

A start-up differs from a business because it is intended to scale really quickly. That's what the 5 million in VC cash is for.

Yes, I thought an understanding of all of the above was implicit in my post. Did you mean to dispute something I said, or just clarify my point?

[kf → dfranke]

I'm sorry, I misread your post ... so you can take my post as a clarification. :)

I actually find reading your stuff more interesting because you're not what I think of/have a stereotype of as an "entrepreneur" - or at least you don't come across that way in your writing. I get more of a "hacker done good" impression, which is something I can relate to a lot more than "business guy".
