75 most promising Startups from CNBC’s “Upstart 100” – for Ideas

“As you read this list, you may get an idea for a product or service to start your own business. It was in the back of your mind – just waiting for the opportunity to pop out, so you could take credit for it“. Peter/CXO Wiz4.biz

Upstart 100 is CNBC’s exclusive list of promising young start-ups, featuring a diverse group of companies that are building brands and breaking industry barriers on the path to becoming tomorrow’s household names. Selected from more than 500 nominees.

Unicorns or Babes? While there’s always focus on the $B+ Unicorns, there is now increasingly more investment activity taking place among younger start-ups. Venture Capitalists poured a record $11.5 billion into early stage companies in the 3Q19, while the average deal size reached a 10-year high of $18M. Many companies that received some of that funding have made it onto this list.

Sectors & Sources. The companies that made this year’s Upstart 100 list represent nearly every sector of the economy, from enterprise SW, FinTech to Insurance, Health care & Retail. They come from 9 different countries and 13 U.S. states (most from Calif & Silicon Vy, of course) & 20% of the 100 are led by women. All of them are <5 years old, but 28 are <3 years old & 6 were founded just last year. All of the companies on the list have quickly become entrepreneurial success stories worth keeping an eye on.
