    I think there are several distinctions. You can have a side-project, a lifestyle business, a small business, a startup, etc...

    I think a startup is by definition a company hoping to scale fast. By this definition, what the author is doing probably isn't a startup. But then again, everyone define startup in their own definition so maybe it is by his definition.
