Sifted compiled a ranking of 100 business-to-business SaaS startups using a data-based methodology. The analysis, which set out to predict which SaaS companies would someday join the ranks of the $1bn-plus valuation startups, or unicorns, was based on several key metrics, including companies’ financials, cap table strength, product differentiation, momentum and market opportunity.
Spanning 19 countries and 34 cities, this cohort of European and Israeli soonicorns is backed by more than 860 investors, angels and accelerators.
