LinkedIn’s Top 15 Industry Disrupting Startups in the US

LinkedIn analyzed billions of actions to determine the top industry disruptors. Today, LinkedIn published its “Top Companies | Startups” list.

“To surface the companies, we looked at the billions of actions of LinkedIn’s more than 500 million members to determine employee growth, job seeker interest via views and applications, member engagement with the company and its employees — and how well these startups pulled talent from our flagship LinkedIn Top Companies list,” writes Daniel Roth, the platform’s Editor in Chief.
