I have the same question as . How are these startups being chosen? Is this data-driven? More importantly, who's writing the notes about these startups? Apparently Instacart has a "5/5" rating for product? I love Instacart but this means nothing without disclosure and context.

agree completely, needs data
I don't get how this list was created. What are the data sources? What classifies these as breakout?
an anonymous founder? in the age of product hunt? IMPOSSIBLE
Hunter
Haha that's what I said Erik! Stubborn guy though, I asked him 3 times.
You asked who 3 times?
Hunter
our "mystery" founder
How did you ask him/her if you don't know him/her?
he does. we don't.
Hunter
FYI THIS NOT MY PRODUCT! It was inspired by Nomad List though, and the person who made this asked me to submit it. The maker would like to stay anonymous (for some reason unclear to me), please shout a lot so he gives up that weird idea and joins us in the comments :)
Haha.. my first question was totally going to be if this was your latest product :)
still really awesome. Thanks for the share. Hope you are doing well in whatever part of the world you may be at this time.
spills the beans. Chris Barber () in her . "But as with everything else around here, young engineers (and others) should probably not base their major career decisions on someone else’s list." YUP!
We could likely create this list based on concrete data/signals with Mattermark. I think it would be relatively simple.
Hunter
here's your product idea :) Matter List!
Ship it!
Hunter
Yep, I thought it'd fit well with MatterMark. Maybe he can use MatterMark's data to support it? I suggested making it a more ranked list, e.g. the fastest growing on top but he told me he didn't have data for that yet. That would make this very interesting for monitoring startups and joining them as an employee too.
Hunter
no, I meant the maker of this :)
I really want to know who made this.
oh my bad, misread :)
Would love to hear thoughts on this!
Ignoring the data quality aspect for a moment (same questions as above)... ... not a single Austin, TX company on the list... wah, wah, wah. Would be nice to add sorting - geographically, by segment, etc.
We've () got some stuff in the works...
that's exactly approach at Craft.co . filter by Sector, e.g. Digital health, EdTech, FinTech etc., also by Geo, Size, Stage, Team profile, available jobs etc. etc. sign up for beta and we'll send welcome in Jan! will make sure Austin TX is well represented :)
I've run the list through Clearbit () - which gives some interesting data like a more accurate headcount: ---- update The mysterious person behind Breakout List (I promise it's not me) asked me to paste this in a comment: "wanted to say thanks to alex - the clearbit data is awesome, looks like a very useful tool the employee counts will be updated if you’re curious about where the companies come from/what data, collected data from some investors who got in early on companies you’ve definitely heard of (+the standard crunchbase combing) also /nick/danielle, definitely reach out! would be great to collab and lastly, if you’re a PH maker and want help getting in touch with a co on the list, feel free to email "
Done some research, and I'm not sure that spreadsheet has the most up-to-date information. Nice work though!
Pls let the anonymous Maker (that sounds so weird) know that I'd love to help from the combing side.
hi there. tried to email the general address from the site but haven't gotten a reply. mind telling the maker/founder to ping me? kia at venturebeat dot com -- or reply to my email :)
Why is he insisting on being anonymous. THIS IS DUMB!!!!!!
It's an idea I've been toying with but I, too, would be curious to know what metrics are being used here. Also, from a design aesthetics POV, the site's overuse of legends and tags is hurting my eyes.
