List recognizes the most transformational companies in education technology

Cambium Learning Group announced today it has been named to The GSV EdTech 150 list, a list of the world’s most transformative growth companies in digital learning curated by female-led, multi-stage venture capital firm GSV Ventures.

Cambium was chosen from over 3,000 venture capital and private equity-backed private companies revolutionizing the world of education technology. GSV estimates that together these 150 companies reach roughly 3 billion people – almost half of the global population – and generate approximately $20 billion in revenue.

“Today, we announce the annual GSV EdTech 150," said Luben Pampoulov, Partner at GSV Ventures. "As the global pandemic continues to drive learners online, more and more companies are innovating in the digital learning space — making it increasingly competitive for companies to make the top 150. We evaluated over 3,000 companies globally this year. The way GSV sees it, Ed is on The Edge, and increasingly more companies have the ideas, know-how, and talent to transform the world and provide all people equal access to the future. We know these companies are well-equipped to help us achieve that goal, and we look forward to watching them do so.”

“While the past year was filled with challenges, teachers and students continued to find new ways to leverage edtech and continue learning,” said John Campbell, CEO of Cambium Learning Group. “To be recognized for the second year in a row by GSV is especially meaningful because we've been so focused, as a diverse and growing company, on the pursuit of our purpose: to help all teachers and students feel seen, valued and supported.”

This recognition comes on the heels of a successful 2021 for Cambium. The company now serves more than 20 million students, 30% of teachers in 94% of districts in the US, and learners in more than 170 countries. Cambium also fueled its growth by attracting top-level talent, adding nearly 400 new positions in 2021 alone, and expects to add more than 600 new positions in 2022. Cambium’s latest video, “Back to the Future,” highlights Cambium's legacy of impact and serves as a call to action for professionals wanting to join the edtech leader in addressing education’s most persistent challenges.

GSV launched the list of education technology leaders in 2020 with the EdTech 50. Due to rapid growth in the sector, necessitated by a global pandemic and continued remarkable technological evolutions, the list increased to 150 in 2021. In 2022, the sector shows no signs of slowing down with the 150 companies selected for this year’s list collectively experiencing revenue growth in the high double digits.
