We’ve just published the latest Seattle Startup Indexfor the month of April. The big story this month is movement. There was a lot of juggling in the top 10 with widget maker FeedJit (position 3), enterprise research platform Survey Analytics (4), and SEO software provider SEOMoz (5), moving up one position each. They all pushed past BuddyTV which dropped three spots to number six. Meantime, scrapbooking and ecard site SmileBox finally cracked the top ten, moving up two point to position 10.
In the top 25:
It was a good month for entertainment websites and websites that help you find it with several startups jumping up three positions including:
- Sporcle (17) mentally stimulating diversions
- Entertonement (18) soundbite collection and sharing
- AppStoreHQ (22) mobile app discoverer
- EVRI (24) information discovery engine
In the top 75 tech startups:
- Zulily is on a tear. They moved up 16 positions to number 43. And that’s after moving up 20 positions last month! They continue to get plenty of media coverage including love from mommy bloggers and the new addition of Red Envelope Exec David Atchison as their new VP of Marketing is probably helping too.
- Other double digit movers include:
- Online work collaboration site OneHub, up 21 points to position 46
- Gaming companies Fantasy Moguls up 15 to number 58, and Amaranth Games up 19 to number 72
