shartup

A shitty tech startup.

"Where do you work?"
"I'm at a small tech company in Palo Alto. We're losing money, our product is kinda spammy, and our CEO is a 25-year-old Tesla-driving douchebag. Your classic shartup. But hey, we have a pinball machine and free massages!"

Shartup

While doing a sit-up when you bring your body up, the pressure on your stomach causes you to release a fart with a very unpleasant steamy surprise.

Dakota had a PT test early that morning, while doing his sit-ups he had the sudden urge to fart but sadly ended up doing a shartup instead...needless to say he had a shitty morning.

Startup Girlfriend

A girlfriend of a start-up CEO or co-founder who understands that her boyfriend is a young, crazy, ambitious, aggressive, academically and socially intelligent monster whose sole purpose in life is to create innovative technologies and business models. Therefore, he does not necessarily care about anything that goes on outside of his company or the industry in which it operates.

She also understands that for a period of time, her boyfriend is cash-strapped, and therefore does not engage in spurious expenditures and demands such as bottles of liquor at Hollywood nightclubs, sushi at overtly expensive posh restaurants, and $22 sandwiches at Urth Caffe.

The ultimate startup girlfriend also comprehends that time and not cash is the most important asset.

Dude, Sharon is a total-startup girlfriend. I showed up 2 hours late to her birthday party and even forgot her gift at my apartment, but she wasn't upset at all when I showed up!

startup

A recently formed company. In modern terminology, it has come to describe a company formed with a business model relying on the internet.

Johnny Asshat: "I live in San Francisco, I think I'm going to wake up tomorrow and create a startup selling downloadable toast over the internet. It'll be free, but you'll have to pay for the jam which is where I'll make my money. Aren't I quirky and special?"

Me: "No, you're a self-absorbed idiot. Get a real job."

Startup

is when you have a great tech business idea and you make it a real business, but usually you fail (it's okay), because you're not that f*cking good businessman, or because it turned out that you had a shitty idea and you hadn't pivotted in due time, and you already spent all money.

Good startups (10%): Google, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Evernote, WhatsApp, Snapchat and every other that you using on daily basis.
Bad startups (90%): There are too many to list them, and it will be better to not say them aloud (superstition)
