I'm under the impression they're using the 'dictionary definition' rather than a specialized jargon

noun a person who has risen suddenly from a humble position to wealth, power, or a position of consequence.

Yeah, it's just the dictionary definition; the little guy trying to become big.

It's a "start up", but that term is a bit ambiguous.
