Wing VC

we tend to move fast and not look back much... this is a reminder to pause 🙂 Dust is #2 on the 2026 Enterprise Tech 30, Early Stage! @spolu and I are so grateful for the team and the customers pushing us to be better, faster, stronger. Thank you to @Wing_VC and congrats to all the companies honored this year. biiiiig things coming!

Every year since 2019, @Wing_VC has surveyed ~100 of the top venture capitalists in enterprise tech... partners at firms like @sequoia, @a16z, @BessemerVP, @lightspeedvp etc…. and asked them to rank the most promising private companies. The result is the Enterprise Tech 30 broken into Early, Mid (as in the category, not the Gen-Z insult though the name choice is funny), Late, and Giga stages by capital raised. It's one of the few institutional, peer-reviewed snapshots of what the best investors actually believe at any given moment. I always love this list and it’s amazing they put this together for the tech ecosystem. The 2026 edition dropped last week (link in post) Time flies in the AI era and I was curious: What does this list look like over time? How has the composition shifted since 2019? What happened in the last 2-3 years as AI rewrote everything? Which companies stuck, which vanished. Maybe most importantly, can I use this to predict future outsized returns? So I pulled every ET30 report going back to the first edition, built a database of every company across all 8 years (Thank you Claude), and tracked every appearance, stage transition, and disappearance. At the end of this research, I highlight a framework to pick the companies that have the highest chance to become Giga. TY for this incredible research @EricNewcomer, @peter_wagner, @rajeevchand, @chriszeoli, @tanayj!

Abnormal AI has been named to the 2026 Enterprise Tech 30 list, for the fifth consecutive year! 🎉 Selected by 90+ VCs and corporate development leaders, the #ET30 recognizes the top private companies shaping enterprise technology. Shout out to @Wing_VC and @EricNewcomer for the recognition.

Congrats to @thisisgrantlee and the whole team @GammaApp for being named the #3 Mid Stage company on @Wing_VC and @EricNewcomer's 2026 Enterprise Tech 30. Amazing to see the teams output recognized alongside some of the our favorite AI products and the fastest growing companies in the world (@modal, @RilletHQ, @OpenRouter, @DecagonAI, @harvey, @WeAreLegora, @baseten, @fal, @EvidenceOpen etc). ✨Get your ideas out there. ✨

Great recognition for the entire @ElevenLabs team, who work endlessly to build the best technology stack in Agents & AI Voice. Thank you, @Wing_VC, for naming us the number 1 in Enterprise Tech. 51% of revenues come from the Enterprise segment, and this recognition is a bonus for a remarkable quarter. Let's go!!

Published the best @CVAI_Show yet with @mlchild & @jameswilsterman Tuesday: ET30 with @Wing_VC on top startups + Podcast with @mintlify CEO @handotdev and @DecagonAI CEO @thejessezhang Wednesday: A thoughtful look from @cityofthetown on the brewing Harvey / Legora rivalry + survey of legal ai Thursday: Scoops on YC batch from @maddierenbarger + New CVAI Voice speakers + Anthropic's $400M acquisition (three email kinda day) Friday: IPO analysis from @WeberWest, @Snap commentary from @cityofthetown & lots VC world intrigue from @maddierenbarger.

Great to see @ElevenLabs recognized as part of the 2026 Enterprise Tech 30. Conversational agents are quickly becoming a core interface for how businesses engage with their audiences. We are proud to help drive that shift with so much more to come!

.@ElevenLabs was named the #1 company (late stage) by @Wing_VC and @EricNewcomer 's 2026 Enterprise Tech 30.

What a huge honor! Every year the Enterprise Tech 30 list sets the new standard of technology companies. Three years ago @Clay was #7 in early stage, last year we were #1 in mid stage, and now we're #11 in late stage! A big congratulations to our customers who were also named: @ElevenLabs, @Vercel, @DecagonAI, @Canva, @baseten, @WeAreLegora, @FireworksAI_HQ, @supabase, @Harvey, @lovable, @togethercompute, @AnthropicAI, @OpenAI, @tryramp, and @cursor_ai. Thank you @Wing_VC and @EricNewcomer for putting this together.

Being named to the Enterprise Tech 30 by @wing_vc and @NewcomerMedia alongside @OpenAI, @AnthropicAI, and @stripe is a huge honor. It’s also a reflection of something much bigger happening in healthcare. In 2023, we learned that the hard part about patient access wasn't the voice AI. It was ingesting every unique set of rules and decisions into our system and following them with a high degree of accuracy. Every specialty, every provider, every payer, every patient scenario has its own logic. Get those nuances wrong and a patient gets routed incorrectly or doesn't get care at all. That's what we've been focused on from day one. @assort_health is built to handle that complexity at a level others can’t, leveraging a compounding dataset of 125M+ patient interactions across 6,000 providers to continuously learn, adapt, and improve. What started as voice AI has evolved into a full AI agents platform spanning intake, scheduling, referrals, payments, and ongoing patient engagement, all connected and learning from each interaction. The result isn't just automation. It's a system that ensures the right patient gets to the right provider at the right time, with a level of precision that actually works in the real world. With patient journey memory patients get memorable experiences, and they don't have to tell their story again or fill out another form. Proud of the team building this, and grateful to the customers and partners helping shape it with us. We wouldn't be here without you. #ET30

We're honored to be recognized in @Wing_VC 's Enterprise Tech 30 list. The ET30 is a list of the top private companies shaping enterprise tech. Thanks for trusting us with your emails. 🖤

@jakeserval @clay @vercel @togethercompute @getserval Surreal is the right word. #1 on the ET30 doesn't happen without an exceptional team behind it. Congrats to you, Alex, Tatiana, and everyone at Serval. 🎉

Serval is #1 on the Enterprise Tech 30. What a surreal moment. Special to see so many of our customers here like @clay, @vercel, @togethercompute, and many more we'll announce soon. I’m so grateful for the entire @getserval team that powers this rocket ship, especially my cofounder Alex McLeod and COO @TatianaBirgisso, who have assembled unrivaled teams across engineering and GTM. It’s Serval now. newcomer.co/p/mintlify-ser…

Clay and Baseten are the only companies from the 2024 Enterprise Tech 30 list to have moved up a stage (early → mid → late) every year. Momentum.

Proud moment for the Pace team. I’ve followed the ET30 list since before founding Pace as they have a track record of spotting the defining companies early. Looking back at the 2019 list they highlighted @Snowflake @datadoghq and @figma before they went public. What stands out about this year's cohort is how much of it is vertical AI. Purpose-built AI for specific industries isn't a bet anymore and is rapidly becoming the dominant pattern in enterprise software. Seeing Pace alongside friends at @harvey @trybasis @crosbylegal @clay and others is a testament to the work these teams are doing to tailor agents to the mission-critical work in their industries. We’re still in the early innings of vertical AI. I look forward to seeing these leaders shape the list for years to come and grow into the next set of public companies.

@TryArcade "Built because nobody else solved it. That's the best reason to start a company. Congrats Arcade! 🙌

Arcade has been named to the Enterprise Tech 30 by @Wing_VC. We started building because agent demos kept dying before production. The blocker was always authorization at runtime, across multiple users, with full audit trails. Nobody had solved it, so we did. More on our blog👇
