What is a startup?

A startup is an emerging company with a focus on innovation and technology to offer new or improved solutions to a problem or market need.

It is characterized by having a scalable business model, that is, it can grow rapidly and serve a large number of customers without proportionally increasing its costs. However, it also faces a high degree of uncertainty and risk, as the success or profitability of its project is not guaranteed.
