Startup rankings built on money that actually moved
Eight leaderboards over every startup we can verify through its payment provider — revenue, growth, margin, recurring base, lifetime earnings, subscribers, asking price. Weekly snapshots mean movement is measured, not claimed.
Rank change between the last two weekly snapshots, recomputed from scratch on both dates. Startups under $500/mo a week ago are excluded — from there, any jump is noise.
E-Commerce is the largest market on the board at $11.2M across 81 earning startups. Fastest-moving this week: Fintech, up 13.8% in combined revenue.
What are the VibeCrowd startup rankings?
Eight live leaderboards over 4,233 startups with payment-verified revenue: highest revenue, fastest growth, best profit margin, largest MRR, biggest lifetime earnings, most subscribers, highest asking price and the newest ones already making money. Together they cover $33.5M of revenue collected in the last 30 days.
Where do the numbers come from?
From payment-provider connections, not questionnaires. A founder cannot type a revenue figure into these rankings. Some startups choose to hide their name — their numbers still count, and they appear as anonymous entries.
How often is everything updated?
Rankings are rebuilt from live data every hour. On top of that we store a weekly snapshot of every figure — the most recent one is Aug 10, 2026 — which is what the ▲▼ movement indicators and the trend lines are computed from. Nothing on this page is an estimate of movement; it is measured.
Can I see a ranking for one sector or one country?
Yes. Revenue, growth, profit and MRR each have a per-sector ranking across 29 sectors, and revenue is broken out by country on the Countries pages.
Is this investment advice?
No. These are public metrics about private companies, presented as data. Nothing here is an offer, a recommendation or a valuation.
