Half of thay sounds too niche to grow, the other half too vague to ensure success.
I try to keep this in my mind when evaluating startups (especially as my potential employer): http://paulgraham.com/startupideas.html

I'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…
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").
1. Solid academic background is done by analyzing the team track record and experience together with the open source activity
2. We do not pretend to predict success.. Any company that appears on the list comply to three simple roles: raised large series A, below 25 employees and in SF bay area. The tags are there as an additional analysis that each user can decide how to interpret.
Makes sense now ?

Wow...$1499.00 for a „tea infuser with advanced algorithms“ (Teforia). I love my Darjeeling tea very much...but...not sure if that much...
Kind of shocking that the tea startup is the first result... after waiting for like 10 seconds for 20 entries to load. Hmm, let me check this tea thing out... 10 clicks later... $1499! Yikes! Uh, it doesn't even come with an emoji touchbar, 4 usb-c ports, or anything.
It's 20x as expensive as the highest cost item any tea stack should have, and that'd be the Cuisinart CPK-17 Perfect Temp Kettle at $67.71 on Amazon right now. And that is one fancy kettle.

While 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. https://www.crunchbase.com/app/search/funding_rounds
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...
As to the Hyper-Yoda idea itself: I'm sure your selection is quite useful to some people -- junior developers? programmers having trouble finding jobs? the recently laid-off?
My only criticism of your site per se is that you use a lot of hand-wavy buzzwords while not showing a lot of useful data.
"Crazy" growth? "Solid" engineering/academic background?
Good luck with the list, in the best case it could be an important connector between these young companies and the programmers they hire.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

These are great questions: 1. Solid academic background is done by analyzing the team track record and experience together with the open source activity 2. We do not pretend to predict success..

Actually, no. In fact you didn't answer my questions at all.
