Companies on LinkedIn’s list are recognized for “growing rapidly, revolutionizing entire industries, influencing personnel flows worldwide and often changing the way we work and live.” LinkedIn’s editors and data analysts measured startups on four pillars: employment growth, interest in job offers, user interactions with the company and its employees as well as the recruitment of talent from companies on the list of LinkedIn Top Companies.
Contentful was founded in Berlin in 2013 by Sascha Koneitzke, Contentful’s first CEO and now Chief Strategy Officer, and Paolo Negri, Chief Technology Officer of Contentful.
“With the explosion of apps in the early 2010s, the digital world became a lot more than websites, but legacy content management systems were still web-centric, making it really hard to share content across channels,” said Konietzke. “We knew there was a better way to deliver content to digital experiences.” He connected with Negri at a founders’ event with a shared mission to revolutionize content management with a decoupled API-first, cloud-native architecture.
