Uninterrupted, the athlete-focused entertainment brand created by basketball great LeBron James and partner Maverick Carter, was named among Linkedin’s hottest startups where Americans want to work.
LinkedIn ranked 50 top startups in the U.S. that are popular with job seekers.
Positions in startups are seen as opportunities to get in on the ground floor of new and innovative companies that provide diversity and growth.
James and Carter’s startup has been producing U.S.-based programming on HBO featuring sports stars discussing sports, music, world events and business.
Uninterrupted recently moved into Canada after forming a partnership with Drake and is looking to widen its audience after reports emerged linking James’ firm with European soccer champions Liverpool.
Snowflake, a company that helps businesses move their data to the cloud, was ranked No. 1 by LinkedIn among the startups.
Snowflake almost tripled its employee count in 2018 to more than 1,000 workers and boosted its revenue by more than twofold.
