Paul Graham defines a startup strictly: 'A startup is a company designed to grow fast. ' Everything else—technology, venture capital, exit strategy—is secondary. He teaches that growth is the compass. If you are growing, you are winning. If you are not, you are dying. He emphasizes the 'weekly growth rate' as the only metric that matters in the early stages. This clarity of focus allows founders to ignore distractions and optimize for the one thing that ensures survival.
