  4. Pricing and Subscription Tiers
    Participation in the Global Startup Leaderboard is free at the basic level. However, optional premium services are available for startups seeking enhanced visibility, analytics, and engagement tools.

The methodology is transparent and published on the Platform for user reference. Rankings are updated periodically and may vary based on new data submissions or changes in startup activity.
  7. Use of Data and Analytics
