As 2019 rolls to a close and 2020 is upon us, it's the time of year for reflections and resolutions.
If your musings are making you consider a career change by taking a job at an enterprise startup, with the promises of riches that its stock could one day bring, we have your back.
At Business Insider, we cover a lot of startups all year long, talking to everyone from founders to employees to investors to market researchers. Every year, we review through our coverage of startups that made waves during the year and analyze data from other sources such as PitchBook, the deal-tracking database. From this, we choose our slate of startups that we believe are headed for success.
The following list is specific to enterprise startups - the companies serving the $4 trillion a year business-to-business (b2b) technology market. We've defined a startup as any independent company that hasn't yet gone public.
We look at a broad combination of attributes including the experience of the founding teams; its angel investors and VCs; valuations, recent and total funding (as reported by PitchBook) and, of course, the product or service the startup is offering.
