Download the Q2 2015 Global Venture Capital Report
Each month we put out an early-stage tech report featuring the hottest companies that raised Angel or Series A financing that month, ranked according to momentum data tracking their overall news mentions, web traffic metrics (pageviews, reach, rank), and Twitter mention growth.
So far this year there have been over 250 companies highlighted in these 5 monthly reports (we didn’t release one in January).
Notably, over 10 of these companies have already gone on to raise additional money, an indicator of increased momentum. This includes two India-based companies: Swiggy, which raised a Seed round in April and then raised a $16.5M Series A two months later in June, and HomeLane, which raised a Series A in February and then raised a $50M Series B from Sequoia Capital India, also in June. Other fast-raising companies we’ve highlighted include RedOwl Analytics, News in Shorts, PicsArt, and Grofers, among others.
Below are each of the early-stage tech companies, ranked 1 to 20 based on different momentum categories for the month in which they raised. Click on the month you’re interested in to see the corresponding early-stage tech report.
