Shorelight has been named to the highly anticipated 2025 edition of the GSV 150: GSV’s annual list of the top 150 private companies transforming digital learning and skills.
To select the GSV 150, GSV evaluated 2,500+ global companies across five key factors: revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margin profile. The 2025 cohort of the GSV 150 collectively reaches 3 billion learners and generates more than $25 billion in annual revenue.
“We’re honored to be recognized among the GSV 150,” said Tom Dretler, CEO and cofounder of Shorelight. “This recognition reflects our commitment to expanding global access to higher education and creating meaningful opportunities for international students and universities.”
Of the 2025 GSV 150, 58% are based in the US, 4% are based in Canada, 11% are India-based, 15% are Europe-based, and, notably, after two years’ absence, Chinese edtech companies are back on the list. A meaningful shift towards profitability is evident throughout, with the estimated EBITDA score of the 2025 cohort up 21% versus last year.
See the list on the ASU + GSV Summit website, and join many of them in San Diego at the 2025 ASU+GSV Summit, April 6-9, 2025.
