It's nearly impossible to know what it's like to work at a startup. To get on this list, we send out a survey to employees of the company. The company must meet the following requirements:
  • eNPS of 50+ We ask employees 'How likely are you to recommend your employers as a place to work?'. A score of +50 is widely considered as 'exceptional'
  • 4/5 or greater survey average in questions regarding psychological safety, strength of managers, opportunities for training and development, flexibility.
  • have a structured plan towards training and development
  • have a structured plan towards Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

How it works

1. Someone from your startup (most likely, whoever is in charge of talent/HR) fills out a 5-minute form to nominate your startup.

2. If your startup makes the shortlist, you will need to pay an entrance fee of $200.

2. We will send you a survey link to share with your company. The questions are along the lines of 'How likely are you to recommend X as an employer', or 'From 1 to 10, how supportive is your workplace'?.
We will stop accepting survey responses on 16 December 202
3. We compile the results, our judges get together and we rank the startups
