For those of us who are in a startup and are intimately familiar with all of the issues surrounding with being in a startup, I don't have much appreciation for people working in an established company to co-op the word startup. You have a lean department, not a lean startup.

Why is the corporate structure important? I like the Wikipedia definition that "A startup is a company, a partnership or temporary organization designed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model." [0] And of course there's "startup culture" which is a group of people focused on iteration, learning, results, etc. Many startups are stand-alone companies, but it's not essential.
