About Techvibes’ Start-up Indexes

 

The Techvibes Start-up Indexes are a monthly ranking of local start-ups based on an average of Alexa and Compete rankings.The criteria for companies to appear on the list:

  • Located in or around the specified city or area.
  • Less than five years old
  • Not a public company
  • Is a tech company (either hardware, software, web application/service, or mobile)

The Index is intended as a jovial comparison of local companies. Comprehensive traffic data is difficult to obtain, and neither Alexa or Compete’s numbers are perfect; we average them to smooth out bias.Indexes are published on the 15th of each month.
