IVP Enterprise AI 55

AI has set the tech world on fire. At IVP, we’ve carefully monitored its advance over years, tested almost every AI product, talked with hundreds of AI founders, and invested in some of the leading AI companies. And yet even from our vantage point, the pace and scope of AI development now is nothing short of astounding.

That said, most of the fastest growing AI-native products to date, by user scale and revenue, are prosumer or consumer in nature. Remember the first viral successes in the early Internet and mobile eras? Similar to those platform shifts, AI has quickly transformed consumer technology and is gradually making its way upmarket. What’s critical for Enterprise adoption of AI – think security, privacy, data governance and multiplayer capabilities – is still in nascent stages. So, too, is Enterprise AI strategy. How should large organizations think about and implement AI into their operations?

Introducing the IVP Enterprise AI 55
We created the IVP Enterprise AI 55, a collection of best-in-class AI companies sourced by operators for operators, to answer that question. Our list represents companies with considerable momentum and those that are capable of category leadership.

How we built our list
The Enterprise AI 55 represents an ocean of unique data and (human) intelligence, comprising hundreds of meetings with AI-native companies, conversations with management teams across our portfolio and guidance from and collaboration with our network in the Fortune 500.

To be considered for our list, companies had to meet these minimum requirements:

• Recommended and implemented by several Enterprise C-suite executives and organizations.
• Strong Enterprise buyer intent signals, based on our conversations and buyer network.
• Best-in-class user or revenue growth and traction (based on external data sources, internal IVP benchmarking and word-of-mouth).
• $5M or more raised in venture funding.
• Based in the U.S. or Europe.

We segmented the list for each functional buyer in an Enterprise organization: Chief Revenue Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Customer Officer, Chief People / L&D Officer, Chief Information Officer (Cross-Functional), Chief Product Officer, and General Counsel.

Given the transformative impact of AI, we’re confident there will be many more extraordinary companies that emerge in the coming years with Enterprise-ready solutions. We are excited to invest in and partner with this next generation of software companies – if you are building here, please reach out to us at kramakrishnan@ivp.com, ckuo@ivp.com, and tyehoshua@ivp.com.
