Our take

Startups.gallery is a curated database of VC-backed startups, browsed by investors, partners and B2B researchers. Submitting is free through a online form, but inclusion is curated and aimed at venture-funded companies; sponsorship and newsletter ads are sold separately. Links are likely NOT to pass SEO value, and about three quarters of its roughly 4k monthly search visits come from the US.

Find top early-stage startups funded by leading investors like Y Combinator, Sequoia, and a16z. Find new jobs at startups and funding news – all in one place.
