How is a startup's industry decided?
From what the company says it makes or sells, in its own description and on its homepage. Each company is listed under one industry. Companies we could not place in one yet are not on these pages, though they are on the map.
Companies come from public sources: their own websites, public startup directories and accelerator portfolios, and their public job boards (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby), which were last read through Oct 2, 2026. A company that is missing or out of date can write to us from the footer.
