Is a startup just a small business with ambition, or is there a real structural difference? The main conversation this week is about what actually separates a startup from a small business — and after working through Paul Graham, WeWork, creator economics, and the indie vs. VC divide, the answer turns out to be less about structure and more about who you are. Jesse, Marie, and Sharon have all been somewhere different on that spectrum, which makes it a better conversation than a pure definitional debate would be.
