Between 5 Oct and 11 Oct, a fleet of 45 startups launched on Maidensail, gathering 121 total votes cast across the harbour. AI Applyd and capsul led the waters tied at 18 votes each, with Murmur trailing by a single vote at 17. Of the active fleet, 11 founders declared themselves open to acquisition and 9 are raising capital, though zero buyer interest signals were logged.
With 121 votes spread across 45 launches, the gap between first and third place was just one vote. When buyer interest signals sit at zero, founders raising capital or seeking acquisition must rally every individual vote to stand out.
Fleet departs 12 Oct – 18 Oct with 46 of 45 berths claimed.
Fair winds,
