Startups whose contributor growth rate exceeds 50%, indicating rapid team expansion — often following a recent funding round.

## Investor Insight

At pre-seed, the GitHub commit graph is often the only public signal of product velocity. Founders are heads-down shipping. A pre-seed startup showing sustained engineering acceleration over a multi-week window is a high-conviction outbound target before the seed round is live. If you are seeing a hiring burst signal, you may be too late for the current round but well-positioned for the next one. The team expansion suggests the company has capital to deploy and is building toward a product milestone.
