Panopto Named to 2026 GSV 150: Recognized Among the World’s Most Transformational Growth Companies in Digital Learning & Workforce Skills
PITTSBURGH, PA, October 22, 2025 — Panopto, the leader in visual and auditory learning for higher education and enterprise, has been named to the 2026 GSV 150, earning milestone recognition as one of the world’s most transformational growth companies in digital learning and workforce skills.
Using a proprietary rubric—including revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margin profile—GSV evaluated more than 3,000 global companies to determine the 2026 GSV 150. For the first time, the list includes publicly listed companies—capturing all EdTech leaders demonstrating top-line growth and generating at least double-digit millions in annual revenue. Collectively, the 150 companies surpass $50 billion in annual revenue, reach over 3 billion learners, and continue to strengthen profitability, with two-thirds now cash flow positive and collective EBITDA up 14% year-over-year.
“At Panopto, we believe education should enable everyone to reach their full potential,” said Stephen Laster, CEO of Panopto. “Technology, supporting effective and efficient learning design, delivers both humanity and scale. This recognition from GSV underscores our commitment to purpose-built, responsibly applied technology innovation, in partnership with leading organizations, that reduces friction, scales access, and elevates engagement. As visual and auditory learning continues to expand globally to meet the needs of today’s learners, we remain focused on delivering solutions that accelerate learner success.”
“The fusion of AI and education is driving new learning experiences and enabling more engaging learning modalities in audio and video,” said Luben Pampoulov, Partner at GSV Ventures. “This transformation is evident in the GSV 150 with the rise of innovative hyper-growers—companies at or above $50 million in ARR and growing their top line in the triple digits.”
