Profy and KillerStartups Content Partnership

Svetlana Gladkova,


 Today I am very pleased to announce that we at Profyhave agreed on a content partnership that will definitely give you more high-quality articles to read and add further interactivity to your reading experience in addition to commenting on Profy. This partnership is with KillerStartups, one of the most promising startups I've seen lately. So from now on KillerStartupswill chose one of some 20 startups they review daily and publish the review here on Profy. I in turn encourage you to go beyond simply reading and continue to KillerStartups to find our why it might be a killer and vote on the startup there to contribute to the startup's popularity with your vote (and we all know already that for community-driven websites actual participation of users is what matters the most).

If you have not heard of KillerStartupsbefore (and I am ashamed that we have not mentioned this website on Profy before) here is my brief description of the website. KillerStartupsis a voting website for us all to track multiple Web 2.0 startups launched daily. The website was only launched 2 months ago but it already features over 500 reviews. But the sweetest thing about KillerStartups is not that you can read numerous high-quality reviews (and comment on them), here you can vote on a startup (with 5 options available ranging from "This startup will bomb" to "This startup will go IPO") and see what other people think of the startup's future.

Navigation is simple and absolutely typical to any voting website you already use: you can browse newly reviewed startups, the top killers and the startups that have just been voted on. Startups are submitted by entrepreneurs and general users as well as reviewed by the KillerStartups authors based on some 20 prominent web 2.0 blogs they track daily. The feature I like very much is that in addition to a simple review it provides some basic company's profile information, including location, type of funding, traffic details, number of registered users (this information is provided by the company itself).

Although the website was only launched a couple of months ago, it already looks like a lively community site with people actually submitting startups, voting and commenting on them. Honestly, I have not managed not to find a startup I have heard of lately. And KillerStartups already seems to be a good measure of what is actually going to be a success in this rather crowded Web 2.0 space.

So I think KillerStartups is actually a useful website for anyone deeply interested in the most innovative online applications and communities launched daily because we often tend to forget about a startup we really thought of as promising almost immediately after giving it some initial coverage. KillerStartups is the great place to track which website actually evolves into something big and which does not have a single chance to grow. So I am extremely pleased to provide you with this additional opportunity to track Web 2.0 startups and express your very own opinion on what's going to be big and actually make it big yourself with KillerStartups.
