What does 'accelerating' mean on GitDealFlow?

'Accelerating' means a startup's commit velocity has increased compared to the previous period. We measure this as the percentage change in 14-day commit volume.

How can I use acceleration data for investment decisions?

Engineering acceleration often precedes fundraising by 21-47 days. Startups showing sudden velocity spikes are scaling their codebase rapidly, which typically indicates product growth or new feature development.

What is the difference between velocity and acceleration?

Velocity measures absolute commit volume over 14 days. Acceleration measures the rate of change in velocity — how much faster a team is shipping compared to before. Both are valuable signals.

Accelerating Startups — Fastest Engineering Growth (2026)

Why Acceleration Matters

Engineering acceleration — a sudden increase in commit velocity — is one of the strongest leading indicators of startup growth. These 148 startups are shipping code faster than before, often signaling new product launches, team expansions, or preparation for a funding round. GitDealFlow tracks 314 startups across 15 sectors.
