Startups that rewrote their homepage pitch

In Q4 2026 (to 10 November 2026), 13 startups rewrote their homepage headline, 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

The homepage headline was rewritten (fewer than half of its words kept) and a classifier found the two versions comparable; both headlines are quoted. A rewrite can be a new market, a new product or new copy: it is not labelled a pivot. 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.

1,549 observations cannot be allocated to a quarter. Inspect their date ranges. Zero counted changes does not establish that nothing changed.

1,576 observations across all dates. Showing 1561–1576.

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.
