I've been building StartupWiki, a free startup database designed to make it easier to discover and research companies. The original motivation was frustration with how difficult it can be to find information on early-stage startups. Most databases need accounts, or subscriptions, ro just feel too cluttered.

I wanted a website that felt like Wikipedia, no accounts, no subscriptions, no weird metrics, just go in, the info is on the page. The project is still very early, but currently includes:Startup profiles Search and filtering Company categorization Public API (in progress)I'm especially interested in feedback on:What information you look for when researching startups Features missing from existing startup databases API use casesI'd love to hear feedback.* * *Comments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48610224](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48610224)Points: 22\# Comments: 4.
