well most of them are startups.

I usually make more sure than 'most of x is y' before I claim certain things. This is just hipsterism. Ebay, LinkedIn, Mozilla? Are you kidding? While in New York I went to some networking events where people said 'I work for a startup', 'How long have you guys been around?', '4 years', 'That doesn't really sound like a startup.', 'I know, but we FEEL like a startup.'... A*holes.

Well, 70% (which implies "most") or more of the companies listed on LeanStack are startups, I don't understand what your definition of Startup is.

They're manually adding this data.

OK. But why did I get a down vote for that? My point is there are probably more optimal ways to add the data than manually gathering it. Nice effort though, of course.

You like to point fingers, eh? Is my name pg? I have no idea why.

I will take a gander however and assume someone didn't like what was presumably a rhetorical and pretentious response.

I do though agree. As to your first response, a quick right click will show that the site is made with Wordpress. The lack of formatting for the stack grids suggests it MAY be a plugin from which this is being retrieved; nevertheless with the choice of Wordpress, I am doubtful.

We are working on something similar at StartHQ. In addition to listing which services any given company uses, we've also been thinking of listing the technologies the services themselves use, e.g. https://starthq.com/apps/?technology=mongodb

Is this something you'd find useful?

When do you cease being a startup?

When you are too big to pivot.

When do you cease being a startup?

When 0.1%-10% of equity is no longer in the cards for high value front-line (not VP) employees.

Didn't mean to point a finger at you.

Perhaps I don't understand the hn culture, is suggesting ways to do something more efficiently against the rules of Show HN? And if whoever keeps downvoting me wants to discourage me from making similar comments, how about explaining what is wrong with my comment? Instead of anonymously downvoting it.
