Whether the company targets or not that goal is a major distinction.

For example if I open a restaurant I'm 100% guaranteed not to be valued 100M in 5 years.

If I target to be the next social network and compete with TikTok, then it's a startup.

Goal, ability to scale, global business from the onset, etc. are things you can perceive today without being able to read the future.
