CHICAGO and NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GSV today released the official 2026 GSV 150 Market Map spotlighting the world's most transformational growth companies in digital learning and skills.

Presented by NU Advisory Partners, the GSV 150 recognizes the top public and private companies transforming how the world learns and works. Selected from 3,000+ global companies using GSV's proprietary rubric—including revenue scale, growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margin profile—the 2026 cohort collectively generates $50B+ in annual revenue, reaches 3+ billion learners, and is increasingly profitable with two-thirds cash-flow positive.

By sector, 53% serve K-12, followed by 43% workforce learning, 37% higher education, 15% adult consumer learning, and 3% early childhood, with many spanning multiple PreK to Gray segments; 60% are based in the United States, with significant representation across Europe, India, and China.

This year's GSV 150 reflects how the fusion of AI and education accelerates new learning models and modalities. This is evident in the rise of hyper-growth companies scaling globally, including PhysicsWallah, Cursor, Synthesia, Speak, ElevenLabs, Replit, HeyGen, MagicSchool, and Glean.
