STARTUPS IN THE IT FIELD. THEIR SIGNS AND STAGES, UKRAINIAN AND FOREIGN EXPERIENCE

The term «startup» was first used in Forbes magazines in August 1976 and Business Week in September 1977 to refer to companies with a brief history. The concept took hold in the 1990s and spread during the dot-com boom. The term «startup» has recently gained popularity, but it is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. Thousands of businesses are opened every year around the world, and only some of them are startups.
