# High Growth Startup

*/CompanyTypes/High_Growth_Startup*

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: digital
**Digital**: 0.8
**Rationale**: With no seeded child JobTypes available, the scalar relies entirely on the company-type name 'High Growth Startup'. Because high-growth startups predominantly operate in software, technology, and digital platforms, their core value-producing work—such as software development, data analysis, and digital marketing—is highly remote-capable knowledge work, placing this firmly in the digital band at a band-center value.
