WHAT STARTUPBLINK SAYS ABOUT GLOBAL STARTUPS ECOSYSTEMS

StartupBlink is a global startup map and research center, empowering stakeholders with ecosystem development services and tailored analysis on the global innovation economy center point in a given region.

StartupBlink ranks over 150,000 startups on a quarterly basis based on traction, funding and employee number.

SB Score reveals where each entity ranks globally, and in their ecosystem, region, industry and subindustry.

The Global Startup Ecosystem Index is built using hundreds of thousands of data points processed by an algorithm which takes into account several dozen sets of parameters, as explained in the Methodology section.

There are multiple sources of data used to build the index. The global map is crowdsourced for anyone to add their startup-related entity.

StartupBlink also works closely with numerous global data partners, such as Crunchbase, SEMrush, Statista, and BrightData to supplement data from these unique sources
