The most important career advice is that your choice of company matters more than your title, your geography, or even your compensation.

Here’s the problem: there are very few exceptional companies (by definition) and most people struggle to know how to identify them.

Every year, we’ll post a list of exceptional startups across the US sourced from from many of the top venture capitalists in the country.

To make the list, a company must have:

1. At least $5m in run-rate revenue,

2. At least 100% year over year growth, (50% minimum if revenue is above $20m)

3. Raised money from a list of venture capital firms that we maintain.
