For the Fifth Consecutive Year, Dataminr Ranks Among the World’s Top Private Companies Powered by Cloud Computing
Dataminr, the leading real-time information discovery platform, announced it has been named to the Forbes 2021 Cloud 100 list, the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures.
With a rigorous selection process, the Cloud 100 reviews submissions from hundreds of cloud startups and private companies each year. Its evaluation process involves ranking companies across four factors: market leadership (35%), estimated valuation (30%), operating metrics (20%), and people & culture (15%). For market leadership, the Cloud 100 enlists the help of a judging panel of 34 public cloud company CEOs who assist in evaluating and ranking their private company peers.
“By discovering the earliest indications of high-impact events and emerging risks, Dataminr is revolutionizing how global corporations, first responders, NGOs, and newsrooms respond to an increasingly unpredictable world in real time. It’s an honor to have our work recognized by the Forbes 2021 Cloud 100 for the fifth consecutive year,” said Dataminr Founder and CEO, Ted Bailey. “This is a testament to both the hard work of our highly talented team, and the critical value delivered by Dataminr’s real-time information discovery platform to thousands of organizations across the world.”
Dataminr’s inclusion on the list marks another milestone in the company’s continued momentum in 2021. In July 2021, the company acquired WatchKeeper, a real-time data geovisualization platform, on the heels of its Q1 $475 million pre-IPO growth financing, raising its valuation to $4.1 billion.
“The companies of the Cloud 100 list represent the best and brightest emerging companies in the cloud sector,” said Alex Konrad, senior editor at Forbes. “Every year, it gets more difficult to make this list — meaning even more elite company for those who do. Congratulations to each of the 2021 Cloud 100 honorees and to our 20 Rising Stars up-and-comers poised to join their ranks.”
“The private cloud ecosystem continues to see historic rates of digital transformation,” said Byron Deeter, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “Private cloud valuations are getting bigger as the market’s appetite for cloud continues to grow. These founders represent the absolute best in cloud computing today, and they appear likely to follow in the footsteps of our esteemed Cloud 100 alumni. Congratulations to these cloud leaders!”
“How we work has undergone a paradigm shift and businesses of all shapes and sizes are reimagining the tools that are needed to ensure working from anywhere is a sustainable, long-lasting solution,” said Alex Kayyal, Managing Partner, Salesforce Ventures. “The last 18 months have made digital transformation an urgent imperative and the cloud has never been more pivotal in powering our new digital economy. The companies on this list represent the leaders and businesses shaping the future of the cloud ecosystem and we are excited to partner with Bessemer Venture Partners and Forbes to honor these trailblazers of the industry.”
The Cloud 100 and the 20 Rising Stars companies are publicly recognized at this year’s virtual Cloud 100 experience, hosted by Bessemer Venture Partners, Salesforce Ventures, and Forbes on August 10th at thecloud100.com.
