<upd_detl>these glosses are what are suggested by gg5, eijiro, Encyclopedia of Japan and 情報・知識imidas.  i don't know enough about business to know if suggested amendments are the same, and certainly the provided ref is not a J-E ref.  playing it safe by only putting in what's already in a number of J-E refs</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Just to follow up on Rene’s comment (previous suggestion had been “venture-backed company” and “start-up company”): I do have relevant business knowledge and experience in this area, and the standard American English term for this is emphatically “start-up company/startup company”.

The 和英 dictionaries that translate it as “venture” are hewing too closely to the Japanese – in American English (both business-speak and everyday speech), “venture” generally refers to the *capital*, not to the small company.

(See longer comments at ベンチャービジネス.)

Hope this helps!</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Good point. I think the qualification is best as a note.</upd_detl>
