Abstract
Enterprise architecture represents the holistic view of the enterprise in order to ensure the proper dynamics of its development. In this context, information technology is a tool for the development of the enterprise; it ensures the proper dynamics of the given business. From this point of view, the most interesting kind of business is the business of startups. In the paper, we focus on the life cycle of the startup and its specifics. We introduce the concept of the Startup Life Cycle as a part of the set of models detailing the digital enterprise architecture. In this way, we show the importance of understanding the causality of startup development and its effect on the ability of the startup to succeed on the market.
