The AI 100 — Bessemer Venture Partners × Newcomer

The 100 private companies defining the age of AI.

Selected by Bessemer Venture Partners and Newcomer, and unveiled live at the Cerebral Valley AI Summit in San Francisco.

These 100 companies, identified and ranked by Newcomer and Bessemer Venture Partners, represent what we judged to be the most promising private AI companies today.

It’s a group that in just a few years has come to include some of the biggest movers in the global economy. It’s only fitting that Anthropic, ahead of its expected IPO next week, took first place in the inaugural AI 100.

The AI 100 is in many ways a reinvention of Bessemer’s storied Cloud 100. Gone are names like Celonis, Tanium, and Attentive. In their place are multiple categories of AI companies, with a collective valuation sitting somewhere around $3.5 trillion.

The AI 100 is part art, part science. We weighed quantitative factors including revenue, valuation and market share alongside less tangible criteria such as people and culture. Bessemer helped to fact-check all the figures we included, which are based on company data and PitchBook.

We’ve added some tags to help show which companies are ranked on their revenue and other important facts. One thing that didn’t change their ranking but we like to highlight: many of the founders of AI 100 companies have been attending the Cerebral Valley AI Summit the last few years. And we’re excited to have had many of them at the summit on Nov 12, 2026 as Bessemer revealed the list on stage.

There will be lots of opinions about who should have been ranked higher or lower, or who was wrongly left out. But we think we’ve landed on a pretty solid who’s who of private AI companies to watch.

Anthropic#1

We have a hunch that Anthropic will IPO before any of the other companies on this list. But it's impossible to know for sure, right?
