Mission

The purpose of the Enterprise Tech 30 is to identify the most promising private
companies in enterprise technology.

The data signals for enterprise tech startups are opaque and/or are unavailable
outside of the companies themselves. As a result, journalists, customers,
partners, prospective team members, service providers, and others in the
startup ecosystem generally have limited information to ascertain which private
companies have underlying momentum and business potential.

The process
combines signals. The process combines fundamental research with curated voting to
fundamental research capture the discernment of the leading venture capitalists in the sector, while
with curated voting. mitigating the impact of self-promotion bias. The mission is to drive the tech
ecosystem to the quality companies in enterprise tech:

For customers to identify potential suppliers and vendors


For channels to identify potential partners
For journalists to engage with a qualified set of companies
For prospective team members to gain additional validation
For service providers to identify and prioritize prospects

Research Participants

The research participants for the 2020 ET30 were 96 investment partners at 72
venture capital firms.

The partners were selected on an invitation-only basis. The criteria included: 1)


General Partner or Managing Director at a prestigious firm; 2) a track record for
success; and 3) a reputation for discernment.

Methodology

The Enterprise Tech 30 is designed to be institutional, comprehensive, and


neutral.

We use a broad definition of enterprise tech, including not only traditional


products and services sold to corporate CIOs and CTOs but also newer
investment themes of vertical SaaS, line-of-business SaaS, and SMB tech. We
exclude distinct themes such as life sciences, crypto, and cleantech, and
distinct geographies such as China and India.

The methodology has two phases: 1) a fundamental research phase, to identify


the universe of potentially interesting candidates at three different stages of
development, and 2) a curated voting phase, to capture the judgment of the
venture capital investors.

The research phase started with companies who received two or more votes in
the 2019 ET30. We added new companies through 1) enterprise tech-related
queries in Pitchbook as of December 9, 2019, and 2) secondary literature
review of tech publications for enterprise tech fundings over the prior six
months. We then requested recommendations from the venture capital
participants. Each recommended company was included, although we
requested recommendations for top companies only to maintain a quality list.

The resultant 612 companies were categorized by total capital raised as of


January 13, 2020 according to Pitchbook. Early-stage included companies that
have raised $25 million or less; mid-stage included between $25 million to
$100 million; and late-stage included $100 million or more.

The data signals The voting phase was held between January 13 and January 31, 2020.
include both highest Investors reviewed the 612-company list and voted for up to ten most
rankings within promising companies per stage no more than three of which were from their
portfolios and portfolio. As a result, the data signals in the Enterprise Tech 30 include both
unbiased rankings the highest rankings by investors for their own portfolios and the unbiased
outside portfolios. rankings by investors for outside-portfolio companies.

The results were aggregated and anonymized, and companies that were
acquired or went public during the voting phase were removed. The top 10 per
stage formed the 2020 ET30, ordered by number of votes received. No
company and no venture capital firm, including Wing, received differentiated
influence in the process.

Of note, five of the 2020 ET30 companies raised additional funding after the
voting phase began on January 13. For the 2020 ET30, the companies remain

in their respective stages as of January 13, as the venture capital participants


voted for them relative to the peers in those stages. However, we note the five
companies and fundings:
productboard: $45M Series B on January 15
LaunchDarkly: Additional $54M Series C on January 16
Front: $59M Series C on January 22
Verkada: $80M Series C on January 29
Finix: $35M Series B on February 4

Key Takeaways

1) Data. 8 of the 30 companies are data platforms, data pipeline monitoring


8 of the 30 companies and management, AI tooling, and underlying infrastructure and services. Data
reflect data as a core is a now core function of the enterprise.
function of the HashiCorp: cloud-native infrastructure
enterprise. Snowflake: data warehouse
Databricks: data analytics
Confluent: event streaming
Clearbit: marketing data platform
Segment: customer data platform
Fivetran: data connectors
Domino: data science

2) Business processes. Business processes are being redesigned by new


applications that are now grounded in a consumer-grade design and
experience. 5 of the 30 companies reflect redesigned business processes.
Gusto: human resources
Carta: financial cap tables
productboard: product management
Modern Treasury: treasury
Ironclad: legal contracting

3) APIs. APIs are increasingly tablestakes for everything. The result is an


organizational structure that is both decomposed and composable. 6 of the 30
companies reflect API Everything.
Zapier: application integration API
Clearbit: marketing data API
Finix: payment facilitator API
Modern Treasury: money movement API
Stripe: payments processing API
Segment: customer data API

4) Low-code/no-code. As software permeates the enterprise, and as AI


permeates software, enterprises are enabling more employees to be
developers and to create software. 4 of the 30 companies reflect the low-
code/no-code developer mindset.
Zapier: application integration
Retool: internal tools
Webflow: website design
Airtable: re-imagined Excel with collaboration

5) Zapier. Zapier returns as #1 in the Early-Stage Category. This is not


surprising, as Zapier, a highly capital efficient company, is mid- or late-stage by
metrics other than total capital raised.

6) ML. FortressIQ is one of the more interesting ML companies this year. The
FortressIQ is one of company uses machine learning to observe business processes and formulate
the interesting ML improvement recommendations.
companies this year.
7) JAMstack. Netlify represents the rise of the JAMstack (JavaScript, APIs, and
Markup) and new hosting models for modern web architecture, without the
requirement of a tradition origin server.

8) Notable mentions. Rippling and Samsara are notable mentions. Both


companies would have been added to Mid-Stage and Late-Stage categories,
respectively, if the results were filtered for outside-portfolio votes only.

9) 2019 ET30. It is difficult to measure the results of the inaugural 2019 ET30
as venture capital and startups are a 10+ year journey. As an initial note,
though, two of the 2019 ET30 had successful exits over the past 9 months.
Datadog went public at a valuation of $7.8 billion, and Plaid was acquired by
Visa for $5.3 billion.

Conclusion

The Enterprise Tech 30 serves as a platform for the tech industry to identify,
understand, and build relationships with the most promising private companies
in enterprise tech.
The Modern Enterprise
is a digital-native Our overarching view is that the Modern Enterprise is a digital-native
workplace, built on workplace, built on data and powered by AI as reflected by many of the 2020
data and powered by Enterprise Tech 30 companies.
AI.
We wish to congratulate the 2020 ET30 companies and to thank the venture
capital participants. It is a privilege to partner with you.

2020

In addition to being an information source, Enterprise Tech 30 serves as a


basis to build a dialogue. What do the companies tell you about the future of
the Modern Enterprise? Which companies do you disagree with, if any? And,
which companies are missing in your view?

We look forward to your thoughts and reactions.
