On September 16th, we celebrated the 2020 Forbes Cloud 100, the definitive list of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world. Watch on-demand the memorable discussions and thought-provoking ideas from CEOs, founders, and leaders on what's driving today's cloud economy forward.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Cloud 100 brought together the world's top leaders to discuss:
Category creation and business strategies
Advice for navigating phases of hypergrowth and scaling changes.
Lessons on leadership and resilience for 2020 and beyond
What is the methodology for determining the winners and ranking?
We consider and evaluate nominated companies, last year's Cloud 100 and Rising Stars, and recognized category leaders. There are four factors we weigh in the evaluation process:
01
Estimated valuation
Based on third-party data providers, an estimate of valuation is determined. In some cases, this estimate is a range rather than a specific number.
02
Operating metrics
As part of the nomination process, ranges are collected on metrics like revenue and growth.
03
People & culture
Based on third-party data providers, each company is evaluated on both their size (e.g., # of people, growth in # of people) as well as culture.
04
Market leadership
The official Cloud 100 judge panel, comprised primarily of public Cloud CEOs, provides their qualitative input and assessment of the companies’ market leadership in various Cloud sectors.
