If you want to put your own eye on the line, there's a prediction game on top of the same dataset at signals.gitdealflow.com/predict. Call which tracked startups raise a round in the next 6 months, earn points when your calls resolve, climb a public rank ladder from Curious to Oracle. Free tier: 3 predictions per month. Paid: 10 per month. Leaderboard: signals.gitdealflow.com/leaderboard.
Complementary: two Chrome extensions
Same dataset, different surfaces. Install one or both:
VC Deal Flow Signal — Crunchbase + Wellfound badge: a green "Accelerating" engineering-acceleration badge appears inline on any Crunchbase or Wellfound startup profile where the GitHub data is interesting. For investors who research deals in browser tabs.
VC GitHub Lookup — Startup Signals on Hover (NEW, May 2026): hover any GitHub repo or org link to see commit velocity (14d), velocity change vs prior period, contributor count and growth, signal type, and stage estimate. Chip injected on direct repo and org page loads. Toolbar opens a manual lookup form for any GitHub URL. For developer-investors who live on GitHub.
Both are free in perpetuity. Manifest V3, no analytics, no account.
