On: Dropbox Hires Rasmus Andersson, Facebook’s Mobile ...

Dropbox is certainly out of startup realm and the time from now to possible IPO is good time to hire best engineering talent in the valley.

I ask this to myself: what's the limit?. A company with millions on revenue still being called startup. Could somebody please help me understand why?

[bankim → taytus]

I would prefer to call Dropbox as mid-sized company with momentum

[btian → taytus]

I'd say it's more to do with number of employees. 37signals would be considered a start-up by most people while Facebook is definitely not a start-up

[inuhj → btian]

I would not think of 37signals as a startup because they're not focused on growth, in search of a business model, in search of funding, or going through other startup-specific issues.
