Seattle 2.0 Blog

October 1, 2007

    Another time to a monthly Seattle Startup Index. I was publishing the list at the last day of each month and decided to publish it on the first instead. This means this list is called October/2007, while we didn't have a September/2007.

    The list grew significantly this month to 188 startups, up 15 from last month. We continue to use the combined Alexa and Compete ranking.

    Notable growth this month was Noonhat (up 42), FlowPlay (up 31), FinancialJoe (up 30) and Should Do This (up 30). On the downside the biggest movers were Positive Motion (down 52), Pheromone Trail (down 51) and Postacrime (down 45).

    This list is made of companies that meet the following criteria: Startup (less than years-old), not public companies, from the Puget Sound region and are on the Technology/Internet space.

    The average of the top 50 startups (SSI50) has dropped this month.

    SSI50: 44,538 (2,074 )

Comments (4) for "SSI: Seattle Startup Index (...

I've published the Seattle Startup Index for October/2007 today.       Sampa is now at position 29 (up 4 from last count) just below Trumba. Our growth has been very good for the last few months. By Brave Tech World - Mon, 01 Oct 2007 17:22:47 GMT

new up & coming organization www.smartdesktop.com By john - Mon, 08 Oct 2007 08:27:47 GMT

Is Intellius really a start-up? Founded in 2003, a top 100 commerce site, over 100 employees and more than $55 million in revenue. How about adding Amazon.com, Expedia, and MSN to the list too? I think when you have more corporate officers than most startups have employees, you are no longer a start-up. By Anon - Wed, 28 Nov 2007 11:46:38 GMT

We can continue to discuss if Intellius is a startup or not for the rest of our lives. According to the criteria that we set for this list, they do qualify, although they are almost at the end of their rope here since they will be 5 years old in a few months and will be yanked from the list.
