*There are a few companies that raised a round after the start of the ET30 2026 research process (February 20, 2026) but before the ET30 publication date (March 31, 2026). As with prior ET30 reports, these companies are reflected in their prior stages in the reports and are adjusted to their new stages for subsequent years.

Methodology

The methodology for the Enterprise Tech 30 involves two phases: a first phase to identify a candidate list of companies through extensive primary and secondary research; and a second phase to assess and rank the companies through an institutional investor survey.

Participants

ET30 is conducted in partnership with a prestigious group of venture capitalists and corporate development teams. Investment partners are invited to ET30 based on their track record, expertise, and reputation for discernment in enterprise technology.

Eric Newcomer founded and runs Newcomer, the startups and venture capital media and events company.

Bringing an independent perspective to the ET30

We are excited to partner with Eric Newcomer and Newcomer Media for the second consecutive year. Eric is one of the most respected journalists covering venture capital and enterprise technology, and his editorial partnership brings independent credibility and depth to the ET30 process.
