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.
To arrive at its results, LinkedIn measures the behaviour of more than half a billion users in four areas:
- Employment growth
- Engagement with the company and its current employees
- Job interest
- The attraction of top talent
Traditionally, LinkedIn has pored over data collected over a 12-month period. However, for this year’s list, they specifically looked at data from January through July 2020 to only include startups that are 鈥渆merging and resilient in the era of COVID-19.鈥�
The 14 regional lists include Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
