Differentiate startup and traditional business - exiang/startup-resources GitHub Wiki

Still have problem differentiate startup and traditional business?

Take this example:

Imagine you are at 100 years ago. You are trying to solve problem: "Getting people from point A to point B"

If you are a traditional business man, your idea will be to buy a horse and split the cost by fetching people at a small fee.

If you are a startup at 100 years ago, your idea will be to create an automobile device, totally think out of the box.

Both of you are solving the same problem, but at different scale.
