LinkedIn has announced the 2021 LinkedIn Top Startups list, identifying the top 50 emerging startups in the U.S.—and two beauty brands made the cut.
Based on unique LinkedIn data, this year’s Top Startups responded to the increasing demand for self-care, offering new ways to connect, making financial management more accessible, exploring new frontiers in technology and accelerating business growth and success.
To be eligible for the U.S. Top Startups list, a company must be independent and privately held, have at least 50 employees, be no more than seven years old, be headquartered in the U.S. and have a minimum of 15% employee growth over the time period. The ranking is determined by four pillars based on LinkedIn data: employment growth, engagement with the company and its employees, job interest and ability to attract talent from companies on the LinkedIn Top Companies list.
Beauty innovator Glossier was number three on the list. Skin care startup Youth To The People was ranked number eight.
Jessi Hempel, senior editor at large at LinkedIn said, “The Top Startups on this year’s list are at the forefront of what’s next, keeping employees productive and engaged, giving them flexibility in where, when and how they work, and offering mental health and wellness benefits to help prevent burnout and protect work-life balance. The pandemic has forever shifted how we think about our careers and lives, and these companies are leading the way with innovative plans for how we approach the future of work – and the majority are hiring right now.”
