how should I interpret the IPO percentage? is 99% going to IPO sooner than 89%?
You can consider this more of a ratings (on a scale of 0-100, how much our AI likes the company). Any company that has the rating >50% can be viewed as likely going IPO. You can read more about the ratings and models on the "About" page on our site.
Filter by category or see jobs available would be cool
Thank you for the suggestion! We already provided filter by industry tagging and location, there is a control panel on the left. Does it work for you? We will definitely explore on the jobs listing part :D
I was expecting a drop down but that works
Also likely ipo date could be helpful
Thank you for the suggestion! Our current AI model focuses on how likely a company eventually gets IPO or acquired, instead of how soon. The timing actually depends on many factors and hard to predict, e.g. founders preference (e.g. Stripe), pressure from the investors, general macroeconomic environment (like the high interest rate right now), to name a few. We'll do some exploration and see if it is possible to have come up with an estimated range.
That's cool stuff. Some comments 1. The possibility of 99%, 98% 90%, 80% might be hard to interpret. 2. if we can see the history valuation growth, and guideline for future upside/download of any startup would be helpful as well.
Disagree with list .
What are Good start ups
dumb
Great idea! Three questions 1. How would people trust your rankings? Can you do some back testing eg show the ratings/ipo probability for last n (=10?) years and show the accuracy rates? 2. What will be your revenue model? Something like free for individuals with basic info and paid for investors with more fine grained info? 3. Will it eventually become crunchbase or pitchbook competitor?
Thanks for great feedback. > How would people trust your rankings? That's really a good question. We are trying to make our prediction explainable.
> Can you do some back testing Yes, that's how we tested our model. I can share some insight. We randomly pick like 15% of the company at different stage (including seed stage and late stage) for testing, the overall accuracy is around 70% (if we only pick the late stage, the accuracy will increase).
Sub-comment alleges that Carta CEO does not intend on taking company public: > I’m not longer at Carta but I doubt it, Henry the CEO has publicly stated he never wants to IPO his vision was to build a marketplace for private companies Other Carta employee: > Not in the near term. I think they’ll have to go public or get acquired at some point to to pay investors but that’s probably 5+ years out. https://www.teamblind.com/post/Toxic-culture-at-Carta-bPJyWBen
Thank you for the tip and referencing post from Blind! Unfortunately, our AI is still at an early stage and it doesn't read news or Blind forum posts yet. The current ratings came from analyzing the historical paths of similar companies, including factors such as comparable valuation growth, founders' backgrounds, investors and the track record of their prior investments, industry-specific considerations. You can read more about our approach at "About" page on our site.
5 8 9 10 for sure
Yeah, they are definitely high profile companies. We are rooting for them too!
