      I worked for a company that was roughly 15 years old at the time and still very much in startup mode. In the end, it was a mechanism to shovel lots of money into the pocket of the CEO and some of the investors. It’s why they never grew, aside from incompetence.

      It’s like when you have a shitty kid that never grows up and is still pissing the bed 20 years later.

      There’s a company in Brazil that advertise itself as a “100 years old startup”, completely ridiculous.

          I guess the point is talking about how they’re still disruptive and innovative, buzz words associated with startups.
