Being publicly traded doesn't automatically mean you're not a startup. Startup = growth, and there are plenty of other things aside from stock price or employee count to look at. For example, Tesla was public when they just made a single car model, but now Tesla is an energy company and expecting rapid, multi-year exponential growth from new markets. That kind of search for product market fit and growth from a company is much more of a startup attribute than anything else, and looking at how a company plans to grow is a much better indicator of how we should use 'startup' than "is it public or private".
That's pretty cool, but it seems more like an interview format (like usesthis.com). I'm looking more for a project where people "tell their own story" and show how they work.
Villas can be super affordable when you're travelling with large groups. I'm the CTO of a startup that provides these sort of vacations. It's pretty common that the per person rate works out to much less than a hotel would be and you get the added bonus of an entire house!
