Sifted has published a leaderboard of Europe’s 250 fastest-growing startups and scaleups, ranked by revenue growth over the past three years using a two-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR). The accompanying analysis identifies the top 10 investors backing those companies.
The leaderboard is designed to show which investors are most active behind Europe’s fastest-growing private companies. According to Sifted, the rankings are based on revenue growth rather than fundraising totals or valuations.
The full list pairs the fastest-growing companies with their backers, with the top-ranked company at #1 and the top 10 investors listed separately. Sifted’s methodology uses a two-year CAGR as the ranking metric for the three-year period.
