Startups You Need To Keep An Eye On
“A startup is a company working to solve a problem where the solution is not obvious and success is not guaranteed,” says Neil Blumenthal, cofounder and co-CEO of Warby Parker.
“A company five years old can still be a startup,” writes Y Combinator accelerator head Paul Graham via email. “Ten [years old] would start to be a stretch.”
One thing we can all agree on: the key attribute of a startup is its ability to grow. Here are some that really caught our attention.
