In Brazil, 'startup process' is widely used in both technology and business contexts, especially in the growing tech sector of São Paulo. The term reflects the influence of English in Brazilian tech culture. In Portugal, the preference for 'arranque' (literally 'start' or 'take-off') shows linguistic divergence between Brazilian and European Portuguese.
