Calling out the bull: LinkedIn top 50 startups

to all the new sales fam who are now with us on Bravado, I just saw the yearly(?) LinkedIn top 50 startups list was just posted. 

to be abundantly clear: those companies pay for their spot!

If you have any doubts, seamless.ai is #10. Just search about them in Bravado. they are shit. 
And like 3 years ago Better.com was #1 on this list and then they fired like 40% of the company in a mass Zoom call a year later.

I know it’s rough out there but don’t apply to these places unless you know what you’re getting into.

Really, what does a top 50 startup even mean? Like #48 is going to be a wildly better place to work than #68. Didn't see it. Don't care. You wanna go work for an early stage company, cool with me. I love'em. Just be well aware of the bet you're making.

Sounds like the college rankings - bought and paid for. Thanks for the warning!

Not shocking.
Those 50 best places to work lists are often bunk as well. I was at one that made the list once and it was toxic as hell.

DYOR always on new gigs, and you're so right calling out the paid placements. Every "best place to work" local, state, country is a grift by marketers.

These lists are just another marketing tool, but they also scratch the ego of their founders/CEO who are obsessed with their companies being recognized for accomplishing nothing.
