The Tech category has been cooling over the past 6 years of tracked data. Total launches went from 1610 in 2021 to 83 in 2026.
Average engagement ratio across all Tech launches: 0.26. Products above that line tend to solve a specific, painful problem. Products below it often entered a crowded space without clear differentiation.
Tech peaked in 2021 with 1610 launches. That was 5 years ago. The decline since then could signal market consolidation, saturation, or attention shifting to adjacent categories.
Average engagement per product has risen from 0.23 in 2021 to 0.30 in 2026. That upward trend means the community is spending more time with each new launch. Either the products are getting better, or the audience is getting more selective. Probably both.
The highest-performing quarter was Q4 2024, with an average interest score of 164 across 65 launches. Blanka led that quarter.
3856 B2B launches (74%) vs 1298 B2C (26%) across the full Tech dataset. Tech leans B2B, but a meaningful share of products target individual users.

Launch volume drops but engagement per product rises. Fewer builders entering, but the ones that do find a more receptive audience. That's an opportunity signal. We flag it when we see it.
We report what happened. We don't predict. Five years of data shows patterns, but markets surprise people for a living.
Three common reasons. The market consolidated around winners. The technology matured and stopped generating new startups. Or builder attention shifted to adjacent categories. Usually it's a combination.
Volume without engagement is saturation. Engagement without volume is opportunity. Check which one you're looking at.
Sum of all interest scores in the quarter divided by number of products. Simple average. We don't weight by category or product age.
Depends on what's declining. If volume drops but engagement rises, the market is maturing. That's often good for existing players. If both drop, the category may be dying. The quarterly breakdown on each page tells you which pattern you're seeing.
At least three. Two data points is a line, not a trend. We have five years of data for most categories, which is enough to distinguish real shifts from noise.
