   Thanks for the feedback. The idea is show their monthly progress with the growth numbers but also linking to the founders' revenue reports (see "INCOME REPORTS" section on their profiles) . Most of them are already detailing

   Not at the moment, I only have GA running. Why're you asking? Have you noticed any elements that maybe is not well positioned? Any tool recommendation for this? Thanks.

    FINAL UPDATE: Before this thread is buried, I'd like to say a BIG THANK YOU to ALL of you that gave me Honest and Transparent Feedback. Despite my previous submissions didn't succeeded (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com

    I see, that's a minor but critical detail. I will reword the motto to make it clear. The challenge is to explain what "Transparency" means in this context with just a few words. "Ghost" is actually very transparent

    Good insight. I need to work more on the "transparent" meaning for startups. Thank you.

    That's fear enough - and that's why I'm featured only Startups. All them generate much more than much $1k/m. The interesting thing is too see the reach that level starting from 0. This is what I call on the Site the star

    True, contacting personally people and manually reviewing all the stories is not very scalable. But I believe that's probably the most "lean" way to startup a Startup or Side Project. You start doing things that don't sc

    UPDATE 2: Most of you agreed about the key point of showing clearly the money or revenue. I've been thinking about it. I agree revenue it is a very interesting data to show but I see a potential big problem: keeping this money amount u

    I don't think this is about earning or spending money, is it? (but I've got the point, ShowMeTheMoney!)

    I agree. Being a developer myself and knowing how hard is to make a successful side project, it is definitely more inspiring seeing those stories from solo developers like us working hard to become profitable. Actually I have a mixture of y

    That could help, but not all the startups are featured because of the revenue. For example, some have total Transparent Pricing but they don't disclose their total company profit. For me is more inspiring and interesting the Story behi

    Hi emeralds. Thank you so much for the feedback. I see your point. I need to work on removing ambiguity, making the front page very clear about what is Transparent Startups.

    by rafapaez 10y ago

    Good to know that. I guess the revenue thing is very attractive. Not sure if maybe others may be interested in Remote Work or in Open Source? I don't know. The problem I'm realising now is that my site is maybe too generic and tha

    Hi cyberferret. This is a great answer that makes a lot of sense to me. Indeed, I didn't contact most of the featured startups, mostly because I thought they won't answer me until I have some volume on the site. That's a big

    Hey Cortland. Nice to meet you too! Congratulations for the site and this great thread that raised. There are a few of bootstrappers on my site I'm pretty sure they will love to appear in yours as well. Cool, let's talk.

    That's a good point, thank you for the feedback. Yeah, I'm not focusing on "money" but in "transparency"(which is a broad term). What I show in the list however, is what is the Startup notable for (aka "ch

    Well, actually in their profile, the startup not only shows the revenues (money) but also many other things like: if they work remotely, how is their culture, their open source projects, their growth journey, if they have open salaries, etc

    This is very cool, but can I ask you a question? Some days ago I posted a very similar website here ( http://www.transparentstartups.com/ ) and I didn't get barely any vote whereas this one is getting totally viral (385
