LOS ANGELES – October 17, 2025 –

InStride

Global Silicon Valley (GSV) is a growth investment platform powering the world’s most dynamic entrepreneurs, companies, institutions, and emerging growth hubs. They evaluated more than 3,000 global companies to determine the 2026 GSV 150 using a proprietary rubric including revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margin profile. 

For the first time, the list includes publicly listed companies, capturing all EdTech leaders demonstrating top-line growth and generating at least double-digit millions in annual revenue. Collectively, the 150 companies surpass $50 billion in annual revenue, reach over 3 billion learners, and continue to strengthen profitability, with two-thirds now cash flow positive and collective EBITDA up 14% year-over-year.

InStride CEO Craig Maloney commented: “It’s our honor to be recognized alongside so many innovative organizations redefining learning and work as we know it. Workforce development has always been at the heart of what we do, as we help companies build the skills they need to stay competitive, while empowering employees to advance their careers. Today, education remains the bridge that connects business transformation with individual opportunity. That’s the impact InStride strives to create every day.”  

“The fusion of AI and education is driving new learning experiences and enabling more engaging learning modalities in audio and video,” says Luben Pampoulov, Partner at GSV Ventures. “This transformation is evident in the GSV 150 with the rise of innovative hyper-growers—companies at or above $50 million in ARR and growing their top line in the triple digits.”

InStride partners with over 50 companies to design and deliver strategic education and skilling solutions that are both good for people and good for business, driving outcomes like

higher retention, stronger internal mobility

Most of the 2026 companies are based in North America (60% in the US and 4% in Canada), with significant representation from Europe (14%), India (9%), and China (6%).
