On: Square Raises $150M at a $6B Valuation

[hbbio]

The definition of a startup (from PG?) sums up to a company that favours growth over profitability. For instance, a company like Square that keeps raising money to accelerate instead of taking profits.

But that definition would include Amazon. I don't think a company founded in 1994 and went public in 1997 can be considered a startup.
