“At Attentive, we are on a mission to create bespoke shopping experiences between consumers and the brands they love,” said Amit Jhawar, CEO of Attentive. “Our inclusion in the Forbes Cloud 100 for the fifth consecutive year reflects our commitment to a new standard in the marketing industry – one that leverages data and genuine personalization to deliver better relationships, and better results.”

For the tenth consecutive year, the Cloud 100 reviews submissions from hundreds of cloud startups and private companies each year. 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.
“For the last decade, the Forbes Cloud 100 list has recognized the most innovative private cloud companies in the world, and this year’s standouts are among the most impressive we’ve ever seen,” said Richard Nieva, the Forbes editor of the Cloud 100. “Our honorees highlight the massive sea change that AI has brought to the enterprise, with sky-high growth and valuations.”
The Forbes 2025 Cloud 100 and 20 Rising Stars lists are published online. Highlights of the list appear in the August/September 2025 issue of Forbes magazine.
