Announcing The 2019 Breakout List of High Potential and High Growth Startups
The 2019 Breakout List is now released.
Breakout List helps people in tech find the best startups to further their careers
Breakout List is “the best guide to high potential & high growth startups.” We help engineers, salespeople and other people in tech accelerate their learning and career trajectory. Investors know lots about the potential of a given startup — they’ve likely seen or been told their private financial metrics. Candidates deserve better information on companies. They’re betting their career.
Companies on the 2019 Breakout List include Flexport, Newfront, Blend, Clearbit, Bolt, Airtable, Ubiquity6, Atrium, Reserve and comma.ai.
Joining a fast growing startup is often the most beneficial route
YC President Sam Altman: “If you join a company, my general advice is to join a company on a breakout trajectory.”
Wealthfront CEO Andy Rachleff: “All our advice on Silicon Valley careers is based on a simple idea: that your choice of company trumps everything else. It’s more important than your job title, your pay or your responsibilities.”
A16Z founder Marc Andreessen: “Apply this rule when selecting which company to go to. Go to the company where all the action is happening.”
Gmail creator Paul Bucheit: “Most startups are s**t. There’s a few of them that are really exceptional, and if you land at an exceptional one, you can do really well. If you randomly pick something, you’ll probably have a bad time.”
Sheryl Sandberg and Eric Schmidt: “If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat. Just get on.”
Breakout List makes it easy and efficient to find great companies
We don’t claim to have perfect information — yet. And we don’t think you should apply just because a company is on the list. But, check out the list and you’ll find some cool companies to look further into.
