These stats hardly rank some companies like Disqus where they should be. In all honesty, I'm surprised (with the metrics used) that it ranks Disqus as well as it does at all.
It also can't gauge the most important metric of them all: revenue.
- tptacek 14y agoMost private companies don't publish revenue numbers, no matter what industry they're in.
- zeeg 14y agoMy point is that the metrics used are mostly meaningless
- olegp 14y agoI think the absolute numbers may indeed poor indicators, but looking at the derivative or trends tells a different story. At https://starthq.com https://starthq.com we are working on recording historic data and showing the rate of acceleration in numbers like Compete rank to give an indication as to whether the startup is up and coming, has plateaued or is in decline.
