For the third year in a row 6sense, the leading platform to revolutionize the way B2B organizations create, manage and convert pipeline to revenue, has been named to the Forbes 2023 Cloud 100 ranking at number 67.

"Earning a spot on the Forbes Cloud 100 for three consecutive years is a testament to our dedication to provide the best-in-class intelligence and engagement solution for sales and marketing teams seeking efficient revenue growth,” said Jason Zintak, CEO of 6sense. “Since our founding days more than a decade ago, our team has leveraged AI, data and technology to transform how B2B companies go to market and create revenue. The pride we feel from this recognition comes from our unwavering commitment to unlock the potential of AI for our customers who rely on 6sense to win and achieve more.”

In the past year, 6sense has marked numerous achievements, highlighting its robust momentum and commitment to shifting AI from a novelty to a necessity, thereby enhancing efficient revenue growth for customers. 6sense unveiled its game changing 6sense Revenue AI™ for Sales, empowering sellers to prioritize in-market accounts and access comprehensive buyer intelligence and contact data within their daily tools, reducing research time and increasing deal closures.

The company launched 6sense® Conversational Email, utilizing advanced AI models like GPT-4, intent data, and predictive analytics to create hyper-personalized emails that convert leads into sales meetings at scale. 6sense introduced AI Writer functionality for Conversational Email, leveraging generative AI and other signals to help demand generation teams create personalized email campaigns enhancing engagement and building pipeline.

The definitive ranking of the world’s top 100 private cloud companies is published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures. For the eighth consecutive year, the Cloud 100 reviews submissions from hundreds of cloud startups and private companies. The Cloud 100 evaluation process involved ranking companies across four factors: market leadership (35%), estimated valuation (30%), operating metrics (20%), and people & culture (15%). For market leadership, the Cloud 100 enlists the help of a judging panel of public cloud company CEOs who assist in evaluating and ranking their private company peers.

“The companies of the Cloud 100 list represent the best and brightest private companies in this crucial tech sector,” said Kenrick Cai, the Forbes editor of the Cloud 100. “This year’s companies had to react rapidly to AI’s sweeping impact while contending with a market pullback. Their resilience puts them in elite company. Congratulations to each of the 2023 Cloud 100 honorees and the 20 Rising Stars who are showing early potential to one day join their ranks.”

“This year’s Cloud 100 list is one of the most dynamic in history. While the industry faced macro headwinds, the 2023 Cloud 100 winners displayed the innovation and resilience of the cloud economy and the combination of growth and efficiency that prove the power of the cloud business model. 95% of the honorees are forecasted to reach Centaur status — $100 million of annual recurring revenue — by the end of the year,” said Mary D’Onofrio, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “It is further exciting to see so many honorees at the forefront of the AI revolution, which we believe will continue to transform the cloud and propel the next wave of growth for many of this year’s winners.”

“The past year our industry has seen a generational step forward in innovation and with AI leading the charge, we are witnessing one of the most important platform shifts in decades,” said Paul Drews, managing partner, Salesforce Ventures. "The Cloud 100 list represents the best of the best and we've never been more excited about what the future holds, not only for the cloud but for the entire technology industry. We are proud of what these founders and their communities have already accomplished and look forward to seeing how they continue to transform the industry in the future."
