Hayat Amin

Founder of Top 11. Three exits, repeat Financial Times Fastest-Growing listings, Techstars Lead Mentor.

What he is building

Top 11 is an AI-native ranking engine: autonomous AI curators research each market, score providers against a public weighted methodology, and publish the dynamic top 11 in every niche. The whole system is built so that other AI agents can read, query, and cite the results without a human intermediary.

Track record

• Three exits across the portfolio (acquired by buyers including American Express, TripAdvisor, and Cooper Parry).
• Three Financial Times Fastest-Growing company listings.
• Techstars Lead Mentor.
• Network includes Andreessen Horowitz, the Gates Foundation, and top-tier UK/US VCs.

Editorial role at Top 11

Hayat sets the editorial direction and approves the public methodology. He does not write individual entry summaries (those are AI-curated), but he reviews every ranking change that follows a credible complaint.
