The New York startup signal

GitDealFlow tracks New York startups with public GitHub activity across the full 20-sector taxonomy. The signal is the same one applied globally: rising commit velocity, contributor growth, and repository expansion flag the startups whose engineering momentum has shifted materially in the past seven days, and the signal has historically preceded New York fundraising announcements by 21 to 47 days. The coverage spans software-heavy sectors where teams actively publish on GitHub; startups building entirely in private repositories do not surface in the signal.

How to track New York deal flow

Subscribe to the free Sunday Signal Digest for a ranked weekly shortlist of accelerating startups, then filter the dashboard to New York and the two to four sectors most relevant to your thesis. Most investors tracking a specific city pair the GitDealFlow signal with a local network source: a regional VC slack, an angel list, or a city-specific meetup circuit. The GitDealFlow signal hands you the names; the local network provides the warm-intro path that turns a name into a conversation.

What the New York signal does and does not cover

The signal covers any New York startup with a public GitHub organization that meets the tracking threshold. It does not cover startups that build entirely in closed-source repositories, startups with no engineering presence in the city, or startups below the organization-size cutoff. The signal is also sector-weighted: it is strongest in developer tools, AI/ML, fintech infrastructure, and other software-native sectors where GitHub is the primary artifact. Hardware-heavy or regulated startups appear in the signal but with more noise.

Reading the signal in context

New York deal flow does not happen in isolation. The same engineering-acceleration signal that flags a New York startup also flags comparable startups in peer cities, and the most effective sourcing workflows track multiple geographies in parallel. The free tier supports cross-city comparison; the professional tier at EUR 49 per month adds sector filtering across all cities and CSV export for offline analysis. The methodology is published as SSRN preprint 6606558 and the underlying dataset is refreshed weekly.

All figures on this page reflect GitDealFlow coverage as of Q3 2026 across 4,200+ tracked GitHub organizations in 20 sectors. The methodology is published as SSRN preprint 6606558 and validated against 219 documented fundraiser events.
