Stripe, spécialisée dans le traitement des paiements, Snowflake dans les bases de données cloud et UIPath, leader de la RPA (Robotic Process Automation) constitue le top3 de l’édition 2019 du Cloud 100. Ce classement est publié chaque année – c’est la 4e édition – par Forbes en partenariat avec Bessemer Venture Partners et Salesforce Ventures. Les entreprises y sont classées en fonction de quatre critères : leadership du marché (35%), valorisation estimée (30%), paramètres d’exploitation (20%) et population et culture (15%).

Il ne surprendra personne que la majorité de ces entreprises ont été créés en Californie, plus précisément dans la Silicon Valley qui devrait désormais plutôt s’appeler software Valley.
