LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, has released the 2024 LinkedIn Top Startups Australia list – an annual ranking of the emerging companies where professionals want to work.
These companies are not only experiencing rapid growth and attracting significant interest from investors and job seekers, but they are also pioneering innovative solutions that are transforming their respective industries. From manufacturing lab-grown meat and facilitating easier access to medicinal cannabis, to developing next-generation computers and designing 3D-printed hypersonic rockets, they are shaping the future.
The Top Startups list is fuelled by data based on actions of more than 1 billion LinkedIn members globally across four core areas: employee growth, jobseeker interest, member engagement within the company and its employees, and how well these startups have pulled talent from the flagship LinkedIn Top Companies list.
To be eligible, companies must be headquartered in Australia, be fully independent and privately held, have 30 or more full-time employees and be 5 years old or younger.
