For example, industry specific websites like RentHop naturally would have lower traffic volume, compared to a generic service like DropBox.

So, to make them compete on an equal ground, I’d suggest that you add a 3rd ranking factor, which is Profitability.

Even though they are all VC backed companies and they don’t have any urgent need to generate net profit, but the sooner their business models are validated, the better.

I am not affiliated with RentHop in any fashion, but I heard they were immediately profitable after the first couple of months of existence.

I think VC backed startups should get as much eyeballs as possible first, but, figure out a solid monetization strategy is just as important, if not more.

Everyone still remembers Pets.com? They blew through millions of dollars of ad spend, and then went under right after that.
