The Cloud 100 list recognizes standouts in the technology category from small startups to private-equity-backed giants. A panel of 25 judges, composed of a majority of public cloud CEOs, selected and ranked the top 100 companies using a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors. The evaluation process involved four factors: estimated valuation (30%), operating metrics (20%), people and culture (15%), and market leadership (35%), which the judging panel then weighed to select, score, and rank the winners. This year’s list highlights companies that have effectively harnessed the power of AI and strategically positioned themselves for potential IPOs, aiming to capitalize on their growth and market leadership in the near future.
