Accredible, the world’s leading digital credentialing platform, today announced it has been named to the GSV 150, a list of the world’s most transformative private companies in education.
Accredible, which counts some of the world’s most prolific academic institutions among its partners, was chosen from over 4,000 venture capital and private equity-backed private companies revolutionizing the world of education technology. GSV estimates that together these 150 companies reach roughly 3 billion people – almost half of the global population– and generate approximately $25 billion in revenue. For Accredible, the honor comes as the company celebrates a year of tremendous growth and opportunity, having been named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, surpassing 1,800 global customer partners, and now issuing 120,000 credentials a day.
“This prestigious recognition verifies the strength of our mission to bridge the skills gap by making it easier for learners to find and obtain the certifications that will propel their careers,” said Danny King, CEO and co-founder of Accredible. “GSV is one of the great changemakers in the global edtech industry, and we are honored to have them identify Accredible as one of the most transformative companies driving innovation in education technology.”
“We are excited to release the annual GSV 150, a selection of the leading private companies in digital learning and workforce skilling,” said Alexandra Argo, investor at GSV Ventures. “As we enter into what we call a ‘Brave New World,’ it is clear that you can’t use an old map to navigate a new world. This impressive group of companies continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of learners and businesses at scale. After evaluating over 4,000 companies globally, we are proud to present the list of the 150 most impactful companies in digital learning that are leading the charge in providing ALL people equal access to the future.”
After a rigorous assessment of over 4,000 venture capital- and private equity-backed companies, that met the following criteria:
The final selection was determined by GSV’s proprietary scoring system, which applies scores across several KPIs such as revenue scale, revenue growth, active learner reach, international reach, and margin profile.
The GSV 150 is distributed across Pre-K to Gray, covering early childhood, K-12, higher education, adult consumer learning, and workforce learning. Of these companies, 33% focus specifically on lifelong learning (which includes adult consumer learning and workforce learning), 32% focus on early childhood and K-12 education, and 5% focus solely on higher education. More and more companies are extending their reach across the lifetime learning cycle, with 30% of the 150 expanding across multiple categories from Pre-K to Gray.
North America — primarily the United States — is the most represented region, accounting for 60% of the GSV 150. India is also a significant contributor to the list, with 14% of the companies coming from that market, which has continued to experience rapid growth. Europe and Latin America each account for 11% and 7% of the GSV 150, respectively. The remaining 8% of companies are dispersed throughout MENA, Africa, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
