Como se dice "Startup Company" ?

Question

Is there any right term to describe such a company (usually a technology-based/computers-company)?

Answer 1

Hi Dave I'd like to add... Start-up company is an "Emprendimiento", a very popular word in Latin-American Spanish (not accepted by Real Academia though! so I'd guess it's not a known word in Spain, not sure). Anyways... that word comes from "emprender" wich means "to undertake" and it's been related to "to take a risk" or "to go for adventure or to find somethig"; nowadays, to run a new business a start-up....Ejemplo: Deseamos emprender en computación y aplicaciones para dispositivos móviles.... comenzaron con un emprendimiento en/de bebidas refrescantes y ahora son una gran compañía especializada.

So we just got Emprendimieto (start-up) and Emprendedor (new businessman)

Empresa emergente is a tech word for a business magazine (something special hehe) I wouldn`t use during a daily-based situation and "nueva empresa" is fine!

Espero que le sirva de algo. Saludos

You're right, it would probably be understood in Spain, buttthe cocept of Governement help etc does not seem to exist. It is very hard to start anew business here. - annierats, May 1, 2016

¡Con mucho gusto!... aunque I´m pretty surprised there is no support for entrepreneurs in Spain!... Because in Colombia (where I am now) there are several kinds of Gov. help..nevertheless starting a new company is hard, no matter the place you are. éxitos - jfgl, May 2, 2016

Answer 2

Nueva empresa. There are, at least in Spain, no tax reliefs, no help for start-up companies, therefore the phrase as such is pretty useless and just refers to the fact it is a young enterprise.

empresa.... con "s".. =D - jfgl, May 1, 2016
