    Three-panel Startup Cat strip on the corner of Maple Street, under a street sign reading r/startups. In panel one Startup Cat sits at his standing desk in sunglasses and a Patagonia vest, a Founder Fuel mug, potted plant and KATT backpack beside him and a sign reading Startup Cat, Founder in Residence, as two moderators in Reddit caps arrive with an r/startups rules clipboard and tell him he is in violation of Rule 4; he asks what Rule 4 is. In panel two one moderator smashes the desk with a sledgehammer, sending the laptop and plant flying, and says no self-promotion, while the other holds up a sign reading permanently banned; Startup Cat wails, but I live here. In panel three Startup Cat sits grinning in the wreckage with a plaster on his cheek as the moderators walk away, saying you don't get this kind of hate unless you're winning.

Questions

How are the top Startup Katt strips ranked?

By real reader reactions. Every strip has a one-tap, login-free vote. This page ranks strips by total reactions; each tab ranks by a single reaction. Rankings update continuously as readers vote.

What does the "too real" reaction mean?

It's the "this hit too close to home" vote for founder life: burnout, runway panic, another all-nighter. The most painfully real strips leaderboard ranks the strips that earned it most. Its chaotic sibling, unhinged, ranks the most deranged-startup-energy strips.
