Equitybee is excited to announce the release of the Equitybee 100, an exclusive ranking of the most in-demand private companies, determined by investors on the Equitybee platform in the six months since the 2022 economic collapse*. The list represents a comprehensive view into the most dynamic segment of the economy: startups.
This may sound like familiar territory. Each year, Equitybee issues a list of the 10 pre-IPO companies generating the most interest among our investor network, which spans industries including spacetech, foodtech, consumer tech, enterprise software, fintech and many more. This year, the list has been expanded to include 100 companies. Due to global economic tumult, we have seen major shifts in demand in the startup market among the investor community. Equitybee is here to help you learn more about the sectors and companies that are experiencing peak demand—and ultimately, we’re here to help you make educated investments in these opportunities, in the event that there is limited supply of stock in these companies, or before they go public or get acquired. (By investing on the Equitybee platform, investors are funding the employee stock options; in exchange, investors gain a portion of the future stock value.)
In light of the current economic challenges beginning with Q2 2022, the list of the most in-demand startups among Equitybee’s network of 20,000 investors is being published at the beginning of the quarter rather than at year’s end, to provide a current state-of-the-union perspective, and to give our investor network greater visibility into the most sought-after startups post-market crash 2022.
Investor demand has increased in these companies on our platform, and decreased in others. while the market is in its state of flux, following investors sentiment Equitybee will be focusing on supporting employees from high demand startups.
Without further ado, here is the Equitybee 100:
