Fastest growing on-demand services

TheStartup100 is now tracking growth signals for a list of 61 US on-demand services startups.

One of the best publicly available growth signals for these mobile-centric companies is app reviews, which serve as a good proxy for app installs - not perfect, but good.

Here are the top 12 on-demand startups ranked by number of new reviews in June. A couple comments:

  • iTunes only, Google Play coming soon
  • New review counts are used instead of a growth percentage because percentages tend to be misleading for low review counts.

Comments:

  • Lyft's new review count compares more favorably to Uber than I would have expected.
  • Favor is a local delivery service similar to Postmates. Favor is currently operating in seven cities with four more coming soon. Favor just raised $13MM in March and looks like a company that will be raising more money soon.
