When the supply cabinet is locked
When the founder does not know everybody in the company by name.
When there is an "official" company email signature.
When a revenue stream has been found.
Whey they run out of money.
With that definition, we can assert that a startup is no longer a startup once they've found that repeatable and scalable business model.
