To compile the GSV 150, GSV evaluated over 2,500 global companies with the support of venture and private investors, using metrics such as revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and profitability profile.
With generative AI integrated into nearly every aspect of the 2025 cohort and a significant increase in profitability, the current GSV 150 highlights the extraordinary educational and economic impact. This has been made possible by educational technologies evolving at lightning speed: over $25 billion in annual revenue and a global reach of more than 3 billion students worldwide.
By industry, 48% of the companies on the GSV 2025 list operate in the K-12 sector (school education), 46% focus on workforce training, 31% are involved in higher education, 12% cater to adult learners, and 4% are in preschool education; a quarter of the companies operate across multiple sectors, serving “from preschoolers to seniors.”
