BOSTON, Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Emeritus, the global leader in making high-quality education accessible and affordable to individuals, companies, and governments around the world, has been named to the highly-anticipated 2025 edition of the GSV 150: GSV's annual list of the top 150 private companies transforming digital learning and workforce skills.
To select the GSV 150, GSV evaluated 2,500+ global companies across five key factors: revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margin profile. The 2025 cohort of the GSV 150 collectively reaches 3B learners and generates over $25B in annual revenue.
"The transformative impact of education on individuals, companies, and society inspires our team to continuously create innovative programs for learners," said Ashwin Damera, CEO and Co-Founder, Emeritus. "In a rapidly evolving business environment, we have reimagined education by bringing programs from the world's leading universities to learners around the globe. We're honoured to be named to the 2025 GSV 150 and to be recognized for our global impact and continued work towards harnessing the power of generative AI to shape the future of education."
Of the 2025 GSV 150, 58% are based in the US; 4% are based in Canada; 11% are India-based; 15% are Europe-based; and, notably, after two years' absence, Chinese EdTech companies are back on the list. A meaningful shift towards profitability is evident throughout, with the estimated EBITDA score of the 2025 cohort up 21% versus last year.
"The rapid rise of generative AI is fueling knowledge and creating opportunities we had not imagined before," says Luben Pampoulov, Partner at GSV Ventures. "Multi-modality is making education more engaging, AI tools are driving personalization and productivity, and learning is happening at the speed of light. Effectively everyone across the 2025 GSV 150 has generative AI deeply embedded in their offering."
