SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (PRWEB) January 12, 2023
The 2023 GSV 150 recognized Proctorio as a top edtech company impacting global learning and improving access to quality education.
GSV Ventures, a female-led venture capital fund, chose the top 150 from 4,000 edtech companies after carefully assessing their reach, impact, growth, and scalability. GSV estimates that together, these 150 companies reach roughly 3 billion people -- almost half of the global population -- and generate approximately $25 billion in revenue.
Proctorio, a privately-owned company, was named among the top 150 companies revolutionizing the world of education technology and remains an industry leader in remote proctoring.
“We are excited to release the annual GSV 150, a selection of the leading private companies in digital learning and workforce skilling,” said Alexandra Argo, investor at GSV Ventures. “As we enter into what we call a ‘Brave New World,’ it is clear that you can’t use an old map to navigate a new world. This impressive group of companies continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of learners and businesses at scale. After evaluating over 4,000 companies globally, we are proud to present the list of the 150 most impactful companies in digital learning that are leading the charge in providing ALL people equal access to the future.”
The GSV 150 includes edtech companies specializing in early childhood, K-12, higher education, adult consumer, and workforce learning. Proctorio was originally developed as an accommodation and has since evolved into a tool for validating degrees and certifications worldwide.
“Proctorio is proud to be recognized as one of the GSV 150,” said Mike Olsen, CEO and founder of Proctorio. “We believe education should be a right, not a privilege, and this recognition shows our efforts to make that vision a reality are paying off.”
