How to use "Upstart" in context?
Upstart is not a new notion. The phrase has been used in business for years, to describe a small company that is starting from scratch and making a difference in its industry. This rising tide has lifted all boats, and upstarts are generally applauded by the business community. Why?
The first and most obvious reason is that upstarts are often edgy and innovative. They often refuse to follow the pack and instead blaze their own trails, which can lead to some incredibly exciting and ground-breaking innovations. Plus, being unpredictable can be a powerful marketing tool, as customers are always eager to try something new.
