What's winning · beta

What startups are doing to grow right now: who is paying for ads and where, which apps sit in App Store top charts, which mobile apps are moving, and which startups creators and podcasts talk about.

Beta Counts and positions come straight from public sources. We do not estimate revenue or downloads.

No advertising data yet. The ad-library check runs over the catalog in rounds; the first startups appear here as soon as Meta or LinkedIn report active ads for their domain.

How it works Beta

Advertising. We ask the public Meta Ad Library and LinkedIn Ad Library whether ads link to each startup's own domain and how many are active. Meta publishes full data for EU countries, so counts reflect ads shown in the EU. Links open the library; we do not copy ad content.

App charts. Apple's public top-100 free and paid lists for every country, once a day, matched to the apps our catalog already links. No download or revenue estimates: only positions and their change.

Mobile apps. Rating and review counts from the App Store and Google Play listings we track, new versions and removed listings.

Creators & podcasts. A daily YouTube search and podcast episode search for the startups with the most momentum. A mention counts only when the startup's distinctive name or website appears; it is a mention, not an endorsement.

Everything here also appears in the feed and counts toward the momentum score. Startup pages show the same data under Advertising and Mobile app.
