  2. 2

    Active in the last 18 months

    A dated cohort, open call, demo day or news item is required. Its date is on the card; an announced one shows as Upcoming.

  3. 3

    Checked a second time

    A separate review re-read every record. Anything it could not confirm was left out.

What gets listed
