nah, just when a company has started becoming fairly profitable, been through a fair few funding rounds and existed for about 3-4 (or more in some cases) years...its time to accept while you might be cool (not trying to play it down), you /should/ no longer need to reply on calling yourself a start-up to attract hot talent to your "company".
