Top 100 Marketplaces to watch in 2023

We've updated our top 100 marketplaces list to watch based on Dealroom Signal: a powerful algorithm helping VCs, Corporates and Governments find the strongest up-and-coming startups.

Don't think of this list as a ranking of the “best startups” but rather as the top startups to watch based on their fundraising timeline, growth indicators, founding team, and a number of other factors.

As we gather more data, we'll update this list later in the future to reflect changes happening in these companies and were they stand.

For investors, this is a highly relevant list specifically for those looking for ripe startups to invest in. For startups, the completeness of your company profile also contributes to your position in the rank.
