Within overall IT budgets, enterprise software is a key growth driver. Gartner’s latest assessment puts its spend at ~$5.4 billion in 2025, with the software segment growing around 10.5% year over year. That outpaces other categories, especially as AI features are increasingly baked into apps and platforms, creating more efficiencies throughout workflows.
At the same time, SaaS sprawl is real. And increasingly, buyers are foregrounding consolidation, integration, and measurable returns.
To win in enterprise software, with its long buy cycles and increasing expectations, leaders have to capitalize on a library of marketing assets, showing what they replace, tracking impacts, establishing trust in both media and thought leadership, and providing the touches it takes to reach everyone in the room. Who’s winning that race?
We put our heads together and refined metrics on enterprise software companies that have received lots of funding and are funded in the Silicon Valley ecosystem. This ranking sheds light on the hottest enterprise software companies and allows for clear comparisons with similar funding and business models. It also applies the power laws to funding and company concentration in this space.
