- paulrademacher 13y agoCongrats on Mattermark making it into the list!
- xal 13y agoThe list is by mattermark... I don't know what to say. Certainly I wouldn't have included my self in such a list if I'd have made it.
- wtvanhest 13y agoI have to agree. If I had been in their position, I would have listed myself at the top and bottom with "and we are hiring too". Even if they objectively figured out they are the fastest growing, it is still a bad signal.
- kenrikm 13y agoMore so if the list is not accurate "15 Fastest" yet I know of several that are growing faster and are not on the list.
- kevin_morrill 13y agoWe listed ourselves in the order we are by score. I thought putting together a list of several companies would be more valuable than just posting our position stand alone.
- xal 13y agowhich then just shows how silly your system is so far. You included an ecommerce store - I just did a quick DB query and we have over 1k stores that are growing faster relatively and absolutely. Every company that grows this quickly is hiring.

- malandrew 13y agoThe post was pretty vague on the criteria used for inclusion on this list. From how many possible startups was this list whittled down? What specifically about each company got them put on the list? Are there any conflicts of interest to disclose? Are any of these 15 companies founded by people who are friends of the author? etc.
- minimaxir 13y agoAll of the Mattermark rankings are done by Mattermark's "propitiatory algorithm." Additionally, Mattermark is technically YC S12 and has received funding from VCs, so there are potential conflicts of interest for any of their rankings, especially taken together with the first point.
- luigi 13y agoFounding engineer from Upworthy here. My email is my username @upworthy.com -- Happy to talk.
- ghc 13y agoThis list doesn't give me much confidence in mattermark's "proprietary algorithm."
