NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Attentive®, the personalized text messaging SaaS platform for brands and organizations, announced today that it has been named a "Top Startup" by LinkedIn.
The annual LinkedIn Top Startups list reveals the 50 hottest companies that Americans are eager to work for. This year, in the wake of COVID-19, the 2020 list of top startups showcases emerging and resilient startups and how they're navigating the ever-changing world of work.
Attentive is ranked at #8 on the list of 50 startups selected by LinkedIn.
LinkedIn's editors and data scientists parsed through billions of actions generated by the professional networking site's 645 million members to identify the top emerging and resilient startups in the US. Winners were selected for their performance across four pillars: employee growth, jobseeker interest, member engagement with the company and its employees, and how well they pulled talent from the LinkedIn Top Companies list.

"Our mission is to build the best product to help businesses engage with today's mobile-first consumers, and our team has worked tirelessly towards this goal.
