How startups make the list: first, there's a short list of about 800 startups that get sent out to institutional investors, who then fill out a survey. This year, they added an additional scoring mechanism where they used some data from a database that collects signals about private companies financials (PitchBook). Here's how the companies fall.

Developer Platforms and Tools (38% of companies)

Modern Data Stack (23%)

Productivity and Collaboration (23%)

Security (15%)

FinTech (15%)

Low-code automation(13%)

Two other trends: (1) Product-led growth (see Product-led sales at GitLab) across 80% of companies on the list. (2) The bucket ranges that the companies fall into have significantly increased year-over-year. Many of these companies haven't raised since the recent shift in public markets.
