October 16, 2025 – Bright Horizons has been named to the 2026 GSV 150 list, earning milestone recognition as one of the world’s most transformational growth companies in digital learning and workforce skills.

This recognition highlights the impact of EdAssist by Bright Horizons, which delivers innovative workforce education and student loan solutions. Through partnerships with more than 200 of the world’s largest employers, EdAssist supports over seven million adult learners with access to high-quality, affordable education programs designed to attract, retain, and advance talent.

In addition, EdAssist collaborates with over 200 post-secondary institutions in the U.S. to design strategic education benefits programs that help build a talent pipeline for in-demand roles, fill skill gaps, and help companies develop the workforce necessary to innovate, grow, and compete in the global economy. 

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 on the list reach over 3 billion learners.

“The fusion of AI and education is driving new learning experiences and enabling more engaging learning modalities in audio and video,” says 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.”
