I'm delighted to announce the third edition of our Cloud Challengers Top 100 report that aims to identify the very best early stage business software start-ups in Europe. We believe these are the companies that have what it takes to challenge the established order and go on to become major success stories in the European ecosystem.
Business software is our all encompassing term that includes data, infrastructure, developer tools, SaaS and also Fintech. We believe this captures the dynamic development and evolution of the B2B tech landscape.
As has been the case for the last two reports, our approach to evaluating and ranking these companies is rooted in data and works from a total universe of early stage companies in Europe. Three pillars form the foundation of our assessment: founders, funding, and product. We firmly believe that especially for early-stage companies these elements provide the most telling signals for future success.
Congratulations to every company that made it onto the list.

General Partner, Notion Capital
