The Methodology
LinkedIn defines a startup 鈥渁s a company that is independent and privately held, has 50 or more employees, is 7 years old or younger, and is headquartered in the country on whose list they appear.鈥� Staffing firms, think tanks, non-profits, accelerators, philanthropy and venture capital firms, and government-owned entities are not eligible for inclusion in LinkedIn鈥檚 Top Startups lists.
There were no changes to this year鈥檚 methodology. To rank startups across each region, LinkedIn measures the behaviour of more than 774 million users in four areas:聽
- Employment growth聽
- Engagement with the company and its current employees
- Job interest聽
- The attraction of top talent
This year, LinkedIn expanded the scope of its regional lists to include Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Egypt, Israel, Indonesia, Ireland, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates. These regions join 14 others with LinkedIn Top Startups lists, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
