How do you actually make that distinction? My flippant guess is that the difference between the two is that a "traditional" small business is profitable

I suppose how likely it is to scale massively.
Lawncare business = not a startup.
Like Uber, but for lawncare = startup.

Startup has the chance of going big and they want their cut of that.
Small business never will go profitable for them so they don’t want to waste time on it.
Think “enterprise”.

Of which you, nor anyone else here, can clearly define.
Hilarious, indeed.

They specifically said "funded".
I think one thing being lost in translation here is that Brex considers small businesses to be different from startups, and it's an important distinction internally that is likely getting lost externally.
For example, we just acquired Pry to help with founders at small startups figure out financial projections and needs. If you're an early stage funded startup, Brex is probably still a good fit.
The policy cited here is more about no longer being a good fit for "traditional" small businesses.
