Startuply currently tracks 317 public company profiles in this category. The most common recorded funding stages are Seed (94), Pre-Seed (87), Series A (25). The most common location tags are North America (85), Global / Remote-First (52), Western Europe (49). Location tags describe regions, not a verified country ranking.
