CHICAGO and NEW YORK and LONDON, Oct. 16, 2025
CHICAGO and NEW YORK and LONDON, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GSV, the global platform driving "PreK to Gray" education innovation, announces the 2026 GSV 150 list—the top 150 companies transforming digital learning and workforce skills.
Using a proprietary rubric—including revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margin profile—GSV evaluated more than 3,000 global companies to determine the 2026 GSV 150. For the first time, the list includes publicly listed companies—capturing all EdTech leaders demonstrating top-line growth and generating at least double-digit millions in annual revenue. Collectively, the 150 companies surpass $50 billion in annual revenue, reach over 3 billion learners, and continue to strengthen profitability, with two-thirds now cash flow positive and collective EBITDA up 14% year-over-year.
"The fusion of AI and education is driving new learning experiences and enabling more engaging learning modalities in audio and video," said Luben Pampoulov, Partner at GSV Ventures. "This transformation is evident in the GSV 150 with the rise of innovative hyper-growers—companies at or above $50 million in ARR and growing their top line in the triple digits—including Cursor, Synthesia, Speak, ElevenLabs, Replit, HeyGen, MagicSchool, Glean, and others."
By sector, 53% of the GSV 150 serve K-12, followed by 43% workforce learning, 37% higher education, 15% adult consumer learning, and 3% early childhood; a third of the companies stretch across multiple "PreK to Gray" sectors. Most of the 2026 companies are based in North America (60% in the U.S. and 4% in Canada), with significant representation from Europe (14%), India (9%), and China (6%). Year to date, the GSV 150 companies have raised over $5.5 billion across venture capital, private equity, private debt, and IPO proceeds.
