# startup.is

> A registry of startups measured from the outside: when each appeared, where it launched, whether its website still answers, in its own words. Readable by people and by agents.

Every startup, as it is right now. Every record is open and names its source. Read any page as Markdown by adding .md to its path, or as JSON with .json.

## Sections

- [Registry](https://startup.is/registry.md): Startups that launched on their own domain in the last twelve months, by the top-level domain they chose.
- [Projects](https://startup.is/projects.md): Open-source tools, side projects and experiments that launched on their own domain — not companies, but the place many startups come from.
- [Gone](https://startup.is/gone.md): Launches whose website no longer answers. A startup that is gone is still a fact worth keeping.

## Open data

- [API index](https://startup.is/api/v1): JSON endpoints for every section, CORS open
- [Change feed](https://startup.is/api/v1/changes): every write, in order; follow ?since=<seq>
- [Sources and licences](https://startup.is/sources.md)
- [About](https://startup.is/about.md)
