Startups that raised their traction numbers

In Q4 2026 (to 10 November 2026), 11 startups raised a traction number on their homepage by at least 10%, out of 1,797 with at least two captures in the archive that quarter. These are observations in the archive, not a market-wide rate. Coverage differs by quarter.

What counts

A number the homepage claims (customers, users, transactions) grew by at least 10% since the previous check; both are quoted. A change counts in a quarter only when both checks it lies between fall in that quarter; the share is out of the startups with at least two visible captures in that quarter. Two captures do not guarantee a usable comparison, and observation frequency varies. Method.

737 observations cannot be allocated to a quarter. Inspect their date ranges. Zero counted changes does not establish that nothing changed.

751 observations across all dates. Showing 641–680.

Dated less precisely

These changes happened between two checks in different quarters, or were already showing at the first check, so they are not counted in any quarter above.
