To select the GSV 150, GSV evaluated 2,500+ global VC- and PE-backed companies using a proprietary rubric of revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margins profile. With generative AI embedded in virtually every offering of the 2025 cohort and a meaningful shift toward profitability throughout, this year’s GSV 150 underscore the extraordinary educational and economic impact possible with Learning at the Speed of Light: over $25 billion in annual revenue and a global reach of over 3 billion learners, collectively.
By sector, 48% of the 2025 GSV 150 are K-12 companies, followed by 46% workforce learning, 31% higher education, 12% adult consumer learning, and 4% early childhood; a quarter of the companies stretch across multiple "PreK to Gray” sectors. Most of the 2025 GSV 150 are based in North America (58% in the US and 4% in Canada), with significant representation from India (11%) and Europe (15%), as well.
