Niall’s Startup Search
May 31, 2007
In the category of, why didn’t I think of that, I wanted to give a shout out to Niall Kennedy’s newest site ‘StartupSearch’. The site, sponsored by True Ventures (Big in Japan client), tracks ‘the web technology ecosystem commonly references as Web 2.0.’ What is it? Niall explains the data-driven website tracks:
- web 2.0 Startups
- their products
- key employees
- investment firms
- investment partners
- success of products (i.e. using public metrics)
The site’s goal is to become ‘a research tool, a discovery engine, a fact-filled directory of our little Web startup world.’ They site is written using Python, Django and YUI. Very cool Niall!
