Top 5 startups in the US

Nowadays it feels like the developing world and the eastern part of the globe has stolen the spotlight to the US. However, we should not forget that the land of opportunity has such a name for a reason. Here we take a look at the top 5 startups in USA.

Better.com – The startup that makes mortgage digital

While some areas of the economy slowed down others moved in the opposite directions. It’s the case of Better.com. Digital mortgage lender Better.com has been overwhelmed with refinancing applications and new loan demands due to the falling interest rates. A growing desire for space (thanks to work-from-home policies) played its role too. To keep up, the four-year-old company is hiring at a staggering rate. Indeed, it took in more than 1,500 employees since March and planning to hire 7,000 more in the next year.

As DoorDash continues to clash with California regulators about whether its “dashers” must be classified as employees, its ambitions have only grown. It extended its delvery services into pharmacy and grocery offerings. And after almost doubling its employees twice in two years, DoorDash has reshaped its hiring process. The focus shifted on what it calls “engineering values” rather than culture fit.
