The red is a bit too much on the eye, but great resource overall for the public to check out and find more info about the small products that they use and love.
One serious suggestion. Please change the red background colors. Eyes are hurting. Can't look for more than 30 seconds. As myself an UI/UX designer, if you need help, let me know.
@shemul True! It might make more sense for the cards to be white on the red background.
Super interesting. Are companies notified when they're added and given an opportunity to validate the info?
@brenna_donoghue All info is directly coming from the founders and the source is always linked in the details pages.
Very interesting!
Curious how you curate this information? Manual or do you have some automations helping?
@kattrisen It's a mix of both. Anyone can submit revenue signals. So some data is crowdsourced, others signals are collected by me, and some are collected using automations.
You can click on any revenue signal and it will show you directly where the number is coming from.
Great work on this project!
It's really interesting to see how revenue varies over time for different startups. I'm curious to see how this data develops over time and how it can help entrepreneurs understand what factors contribute to success.
Keep up the good work!
Hey 👋
I started curating revenue numbers whenever I saw founder post them on Twitter, Hacker News, etc. a few months ago. Haven't talked much about the project so far since I first wanted to find out if the data collected this way is interesting at all.
I find it really interesting to see how projects evolve over time and like that the raw numbers paint a realistic picture of what a typical entrepreneurial journey looks like. I've also started to add some further data (likes on Reddit, Twitter etc, organic traffic, Google ads spend) that can help to understand why a project succeeds.
So I've decided to share the project! It's still fairly basic, so any kind of feedback is appreciated.
Would love to hear what you think!
@jakob_greenfeld Analytics is a good idea! I see what a great job you have done. I will definitely get acquainted with your product. And I really hope that the project inqoob, which we have been working on for almost a year, will also fall within the scope of your research).
Google ads and overall ads spend will be a really nice feature to have. I guess it will support all the "lets make it realistic" approach a lot. Great job, Jakob!
@sweatc Some data is manually curated, others is crowdsources ands some is collected using automations
