🌥️ 🏆 Launching the 4th Annual Cloud Challengers Top 100 Report! 🚀
We're thrilled to unveil this year's Cloud Challengers Top 100 - the list of the most exciting early-stage business software startups in Europe. We believe these are the companies that have what it takes to challenge the established order and go on to become major success stories across Europe and beyond.
The report covers our methodology, the European market, looking back on previous CC cohorts, sector insights, founder interviews, talent trends... and of course the CC Top 100 list itself.
🔥 Key highlights from this year’s report include:
- 49% of the companies are AI-native
- 18% are leading innovation in DevTools
- The median team size is 14 (down from 25 in 2024)
- 69 of the 100 are based in the UK, France, or Germany
