Startup Coverage Statistics
Original analysis of our own accumulated coverage — not a syndicated report. Every figure below is a live, real-time aggregate computed directly from our source-verified story record. See our editorial methodology for how stories are classified, scored, and verified.
Coverage by Category
Story count per category, all-time. Download full dataset (CSV).
Volume vs. Impact: Where the Headlines Aren't the Story
Our most-covered category isn't our most consequential one: Market Trends generates the most stories (460), but IPO & Exits carries the highest average impact score (7.1/10) despite far fewer stories (110). Coverage volume and consequence are different signals.
Sentiment Distribution
Directional read of 1,542 classified stories — the development's implication for the space, not the tone of the reporting.

How This Page Is Computed
Every figure on this page is a live SQL aggregate over our own accumulated story and entity records — never a manual estimate or a syndicated third-party statistic. Category and sentiment figures cover all stories ever tracked in this niche; the entity ranking counts distinct story mentions above our minimum relevance threshold (see methodology).
