Our take

StartupBlink is a global startup ecosystem map and research database used by investors, partners and B2B researchers. Adding a startup is free through a online form, with no fee shown anywhere in the process. Links are confirmed to pass SEO value (a real backlink), though the site carries a very high volume of outbound links; it gets about 9k search visits a month, split mainly between India and the US.

StartupBlink is a global startup ecosystem map and research center that works with over 100 governments, multilateral organizations, and corporate startup programs.
