Open a profile
Click any startup to see its full profile - MRR, growth, multiple, and the rest of the 50+ data points.
What you can filter on
- MRR - monthly recurring revenue, in dollars.
- Growth rate - how fast revenue is moving.
- Profit multiple - useful when scanning for acquisition candidates.
- Category - one of the 31 tracked categories.
Start broad
Begin with a wide query and tighten with filters. You learn more about a niche by seeing the full spread of companies before you cut it down.
Reading a startup profile
A result row is a summary; the profile is the whole story. Each of the 6,040+ startups carries 50+ data points, and the profile is where MRR, growth rate, profit multiple, and the qualitative signals sit side by side. Read them together rather than fixating on a single number, because a high MRR paired with flat growth tells a very different story than a modest MRR that is climbing fast.
Pay attention to the relationship between metrics. A company with strong MRR and an attractive profit multiple may be a good acquisition study; a company with fast growth but thin revenue may be a better model for a launch you are planning. The profile exists so you can tell those cases apart before you commit.
Search patterns that work
- Validate a niche - search the keyword, then read the spread of MRR to see whether real money exists there.
- Find comparables - filter to your category and a similar MRR band to see what companies like the one you plan to build actually earn.
- Hunt acquisitions - sort toward low profit multiples and open profiles to shortlist candidates.
- Study winners - filter to the top of a category to understand what the leaders have in common before you try to beat them.
Filters beat scrolling
With 6,040+ companies in the set, scrolling is a poor strategy. Every question you can phrase as a filter - an MRR floor, a growth threshold, a multiple ceiling - turns a long list into a short, decision-ready one.

How should I narrow 6,040+ startups down?
Start with a broad keyword or category to see the full spread, then tighten with filters on MRR, growth rate, and profit multiple. Phrasing each question as a filter is far faster than scrolling the list.
