Wow...$1499.00 for a „tea infuser with advanced algorithms“ (Teforia). I love my Darjeeling tea very much...but...not sure if that much...
It's the solid academic background you're paying for.
Love it :)

#22While this list made me fear for the future of humanity, it also made me click over to the Crunchbase list, which is more useful and less soul-crushing.

#23No matter if the predictions are correct or not. This is an clever way to look for startups to join as an early employee (if you want to do that is a different discussion). @creator: i would also include the next round afterwards for more risk aware people. Alternatively you could look into size of funding vs team size.
@andreasklinger - that's a great point of view. We're definitely thinking about creating a similar list for post later funding rounds..
Thank you for the kind words!

Hey Biztos, why do you think it's better? I would love to know so we would do better in the future...
Check the logic behind Hyper as it might explain the list better - https://labs.yodas.com/the-story-behind-yodas-hyper-47d3151d...

#25I'm happy to introduce you all to Yodas Hyper - a list of silicon valley startups that are about to grow fast. Working with hundreds of fellow developers we discovered a common trend: There are many talented individuals with deep desire to make a significant impact but struggle with how to put their desires into action. A common theme is the openness to take a small risk for an exciting mission and take a meaningful…
I don't like the San Francisco-only bend. Your title is "Smart Career Bot for Developers," it doesn't mention anything about how location-specific it is (same with the name of this HN thread). Not everyone can relocate and there are plenty of hyper-growth startups worth promotion that are not in SV (Boston, New York, Austin, LA come to mind).
you're totally right and we're making steps in that direction..We definitely want to support more tech hubs.

Long Beach and Costa Mesa are in Southern California.

Any way to look at other areas? The Bay Area is a decent place to find startups, but it's not a strong quality indicator. Or maybe it is! I'd still like to see the data on it, and I'd still like to see you consider anywhere else on earth in addition to the Bay Area regardless of the data. Maybe a business query service would be a better fit, on further thought.
I agree. The level of activity here is the highest so we decided to start here and expand.
Expect to see additional locations soon ....

Two questions:
(1) "Solid Academic Background" is defined... how, precisely?
(2) And the predictive power of "solid academic background" with respect to "about to grow fast" is based on... what, precisely? (Other than something vague like: "everyone knows that solid academic credentials correlates with success").

Would love to see companies that are open to hiring remotely specifically.
