Thanks for taking the time to check out this list and for commenting about it :).

Revenue growth and profit growth would be awesome metrics to have but those aren't publicly available for most of the companies on the list.

I think employee growth is the best objective metric because it captures fundraising and/or profit growth in one combined metric (because companies that are hiring either raised money, are making money, or perhaps aren't good at running their business).

This is really just a starter metric to compare thousands of companies to each other but obviously if you were going to join one of these companies you would want to do much deeper due diligence.
