 INTRODUCTION
The term startup refers to a company in the first stages of operations. Startups are founded by
one or more entrepreneurs who want to develop a product or service for which they believe
there is demand. These companies generally start with high costs and limited revenue, which
is why they look for capital from a variety of sources such as venture capitalists. [1]

failed and disappeared, in this work we will talk about a famous world wide startup that is

Internet. Its considerable online presence is such that, in 2012, 1 percent of all Internet traffic in
North America traveled in and out of Amazon.com data centers.[2]

The company also makes the market-leading Kindle e-book readers. Its promotion of these devices
has led to dramatic growth in e-book publishing and turned Amazon.com into a major disruptive
force in the book-publishing market.[2]

Amazon was founded in 1994 by Jeffrey P. Bezos. Jeff Bezos incorporated the company (as
Cadabra) in July 1994. The name Amazon was founded soon after because the Amazon River is the
largest in the world, and the letter “A” would help the company to show up at the top of alphabetical
lists. and the site went online as Amazon.com in 1995. The name Amazon was founded soon after
because the Amazon River is the largest in the world, and the letter “A” would help the company to

managed to stay on top. Amazon's goal for the stock price is $400. The progress has gradually
