Startup Categories

Browse 17 categories. Each groups small, profitable internet businesses by what they sell.

How this list works

A category is what a business sells, not the technology behind it. Each startup carries up to three, and the first is its primary one — the category its profile links to and the one it is counted under here.

Categories are assigned when a profile is reviewed, from what the business itself says it does. A count is published startups only: drafts and rejected submissions never appear in it.

Every figure on a profile carries its source, its date and a label saying whether anyone stands behind it. How figures work.
