• START-UP
  
  While any new company could be considered a start-up, the description is usually applied to aggressive young companies that are actively courting private financing from venture capitalists, including wealthy individuals and investment companies. In many cases, the start-ups plan to use the cash infusion to prepare for an initial public offering (IPO).
