LinkedIn™ ranks Cohere 5th on the 2023 Top Startups list

Over the past year, companies across sectors have grappled with a range of economic challenges — and with significant drops in venture capital funding, startups have not been immune.

But times of uncertainty often pave the way for opportunities. Climate tech startups, for example, are seeing a growing talent pool amid the waves of layoffs in big tech. And the artificial intelligence boom has led to a 16% increase in venture funding for generative AI startups in the first half of 2023 alone.

The 7th annual LinkedIn™ Top Startups list is a testament to that spirit of innovation, featuring a data-backed ranking of the 50 emerging U.S. companies you should know now. This year’s honorees have trailblazed their way through recent economic and workplace challenges — and managed to stand out to investors and top talent along the way.

To compile the list, LinkedIn looked at LinkedIn data across four pillars: employee growth; jobseeker interest; member engagement within the company and its employees; and how well these startups pulled talent from LinkedIn’s flagship LinkedIn Top Companies list. This year, LinkedIn also lowered their age criteria to five years or younger to feature more companies in their earlier venture stages of growth. Learn more about LinkedIn’s methodology.
