Hey Nir, late reply but: based on the names and (self?) descriptions of the startups I found it a bit of a downer to think of these being the hot new pre-unicorn wondercompanies. And the Crunchbase list, while a bit annoying with its upgrade hard-sell, has a lot more information that would be useful in figuring out what a company's about, where its money comes from, and how useful it might be for a serious hacker to ask them about jobs.

As to the Hyper-Yoda idea itself: I'm sure your selection is quite useful to some people -- junior developers? programmers having trouble finding jobs? the recently laid-off?

My only criticism of your site per se is that you use a lot of hand-wavy buzzwords while not showing a lot of useful data.

"Crazy" growth? "Solid" engineering/academic background?

Good luck with the list, in the best case it could be an important connector between these young companies and the programmers they hire.
