How long does a startup remain a 'startup'?

Getting pretty annoyed with Byju's being reffered to as an edtech startup in 2023. Byju's started in 2011, more than a decade ago. Stop calling it a start up 😑

What are your thoughts on this?

At this point it should be called a finishup instead

Unless it does an IPO I feel it can be called startup. Running on vc money..

I mean, call a company a startup when it's in the early stage of its operations and the business is still being set up. Once a startup achieves scale and has existed for over a decade, it's no longer a startup... it's a full-fledged corporation, imo.
