FAQ
Our one job is tracking top companies themselves. We comb through thousands of startups, funding announcements, news articles, and more to find and identify only the top startups (and then we track them obsessively).
We look at signals like funding, headcount, leadership changes, team pages, and are also fortunate to get tips before anyone else from our community when their companies are hiring.
