RSS feeds are available for each object listing in the system: company, product, person, investor, and investment parter. They are exposed as link alternates within each of those pages. I know my way around RSS, Atom, and widgets, so you'll see more syndicated content added over time.

True Ventures sponsors the site in the same way National Geographic might sponsor a show about African safaris. There's an overlap in interests the brand gains from a run-of-site advertisement, and True is interested enough in the product's development to offset some of its costs.

Hi, I wrote the site and I am responsible for choosing companies listed on the site.

Startup Search reports facts as they may occur. I start out with a product of interest, discovering the parent company key employees, investment rounds and other relevant information.

Any bias or non-bias towards women, a skin color, or a location is a reflection on the state of the industry or at least the subsection inside the United States currently tracked in the database. I will keep adding new data, reflecting a more complete picture with each new data point.

What's a startup? Easy classifications are any company who has raised enough money to build a nice soccer stadium or has an employee count approaching Dunbar. 37signals is a small team launching cool and interesting products so I decided to track their products and growth. Basecamp has been around for a few years and resulted in a few spinoff products, but Highrise is totally new and going after sites such as Salesforce.com.
