Monthly updates of active projects would be reasonable. I'm curious which projects are dead, which wouldn't need to be updated often :-P

Monthly updates by whom? You gonna heard fifty cats (or startup founders) into doing anything that doesn't involve free food? I doubt it.

I couldn't help but wonder how many companies there were on the page, so I added a Count column - the page has 43 startups so far :)
