Investor insight
23 social & community organizations from Q2 2026 remain on the panel this quarter alongside these 6 new entrants. A startup crossing our tracking threshold for the first time means its engineering activity became visible at scale — verify funding history and team background independently before treating this as a sourcing signal.

Sorted by commit velocity change (14-day window). "New" = absent from the Q2 2026 snapshot, present in Q3 2026.
The free Acceleration Watch: five venture-backed teams accelerating on the engineering signal, translated into plain English — 21 to 47 days before the deck circulates. No code-reading, no card.
6 social & community startups appear in our Q3 2026 tracking that were not present in Q2 2026. "New" means newly tracked by our GitHub engineering-signal panel, not necessarily newly founded — some may have been incorporated earlier and simply crossed our commit-velocity threshold this quarter. SAMA-Communications leads the new cohort with 1 commits over a rolling 14-day window (+999%).
We diff the set of tracked GitHub organizations in social & community between Q2 2026 and Q3 2026. Any organization present in the current snapshot but absent from the prior one counts as new. 23 organizations from Q2 2026 remain on the panel this quarter.
Treat it as a starting point, not a conclusion. A startup newly crossing our tracking threshold means its GitHub engineering activity became visible at scale — verify funding history, team background, and product traction independently before any investment action.
