As a viewer, I'd like to see the original datasource linked. It's not clear if this is a milestone that may be outdated or if it's a current MRR number. I'd also like to know if this is self reported vs. verified by the payment gateway (e.g. Stripe via Baremetrics)

The conversion to base thousands for MRR was also confusing to me. For example, ConvertKit's MRR seemed way off at $220K, then I realized it was $2,200K = $2.2M. Might want to convert those so viewers don't have too or at least add some commas. They may be an outlier though on the Open Startups movement with such a large revenue number.

Overall, it's an interesting list. Thanks for putting it together and for sharing.




As a consumer, if this is connected to the payment gateway, I wouldn’t touch any of these with a ten foot pole. That’s a lot of private information conceivably handed over. I’d prefer it be self-reported.

It would also be cool to add a up or down arrow to show the trend direction.


Not sure if that is an issue because these are openly displayed by the founders on their sites and for places where its payment gateway approved - they must have given approval to display these publicly.


I have the data sources of course. Probably will link to those. Most of it is verified via Payment gateway (by the actual source) while some are openly reported by the founders.

Point noted on the numbers to make better.
