Open Startups
A curated directory of startups that share their metrics publicly — not every startup.
What is an Open Startup?
A company that shares its metrics publicly - metrics like visitor analytics, marketing experiments - even revenue.
Why should I care?
We focus on companies that publish real numbers — revenue, traffic, experiments. Transparency you can learn from.
