About SOFL

A startup league, not a closed award show

SOFL is a CONSYF project built to make startup progress visible across seasons, categories, and ecosystems. Season 1 focuses on public signals, transparent rules, and founder participation.

Fair play

SOFL compares startups by relative growth from their own baseline, so a small team can compete with a larger company on progress, not size.

Data-driven

The league prioritizes public and third-party signals such as SimilarWeb, app stores, GitHub, Crunchbase, LinkedIn, Product Hunt, G2, and Capterra.

Seasonal format

One year is one season. Scores, baselines, timelines, and recognition categories are tracked season by season.

A CONSYF project

SOFL is operated as an independent brand under CONSYF, with its own product direction, operating model, and potential to spin out after Season 1. The platform can earn from support fees, sponsored recognition, featured listings, and in-kind gift programs while keeping ranking influence separate from sponsor participation.
