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.
Q3 2026
- Akido Labs: Changed its homepage headline from “Making exceptional healthcare universal” to “Re-engineering healthcare around AI”.
- Dropback: Changed its homepage headline from “Your pro-grade Front Office Database Your p Front Office Database” to “Every Front Office Deserves Its Own AI”. A classifier read this as a change in its core product.
- Celona: Changed its homepage headline from “Industrial intelligence powered by private 5G” to “Agentic. Converged. Wireless.”.
