@daniellemorrill I'm really digging this! One question: How is the "Historical Growth" determined? I'm sure it is a number of data points, but could you explain a little about that?
What a fucking insane day. I finally got back to where we're staying during the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference, where we also launched this live on stage. I swear, adrenaline highs like today might be the secret reason for doing startup life.
Huge props to @aeisenberger and @blakelucchesi who are the masterminds behind this app. I really just voiced some strong opinions, filed bugs and otherwise got out of the way. We have known for a long time that mobile is where we really can make an impact on our customers' lives and this app is just beautiful, I am so proud of it and so happy we can make it free to all the people who love to research startups. I hope you'll use it to look up key info and news before your next meeting or to look up companies you hear about while you're out and about. The one-click share is a great way to send yourself an email reminder.
One cool thing you might not notice at first is that in the top right corner we've got this little bar graph icon. When you click it, we give you an overview of all the funding events for the day (and further back) as they happen. We also send a once-daily push notification to let you know what the day's startup funding looks like.
I hope you are enjoying this app, a lot of love went into it!
Wish there is a way to list trending companies or by industries/tags/people, etc. Right now it seems like the only way to see any company is through search. Nice design.
