# Growth Startups — Engineering Acceleration (Q4 2025)

Growth-stage startups at Series C and beyond. Engineering signals at this scale indicate platform expansion, new product line development, or preparation for an IPO or major strategic milestone.

## Summary — Q4 2025

- Tracked: 56 growth startups
- Top: solidusio (E-commerce Infrastructure) — 20 commits over 14 days (+300%)
- Avg 14-day velocity: 198 commits
- Sectors represented: 18

## Investor Insight

At growth stage, engineering signals indicate strategic direction — a major deploy-frequency spike often maps to a product launch; an infrastructure buildout often signals a new business line. Useful for secondary investors, growth funds, and corporate development teams benchmarking targets.
