Contentful, the leading composable content platform for digital-first businesses, has been named to the Forbes 2022 Cloud 100, the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures.
“The platforms and tools that unlock the power of digital content are essential to the success of all companies in this digital-first era,” said Steve Sloan, CEO of Contentful. “This incredible honor of being recognized as one of the Cloud 100 companies further validates our belief that content is a critical ingredient in driving exceptional digital customer experiences. As a company, we will work to further empower digital builders across the globe to deliver compelling experiences that resonate with their customers.”
For the seventh straight year, the Cloud 100 reviews submissions from hundreds of cloud startups and private companies each year. The Cloud 100 evaluation process involved ranking companies across four factors: market leadership (35%), estimated valuation (30%), operating metrics (20%), and people & culture (15%). For market leadership, the Cloud 100 enlists the help of a judging panel of public cloud company CEOs who assist in evaluating and ranking their private company peers.
