RESTON, VA and SAN ANTONIO — Ellucian, the leading higher education technology solutions provider, has been named to the 2024 edition of the GSV 150: GSV Ventures' annual list of the top 150 private companies transforming digital learning and workforce skills for the fourth year in a row.
Ellucian was selected as part of the 2024 cohort from more than 2,000 global companies using GSV Ventures' proprietary rubric of revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margin profile. The distinguished VC- and PE-backed companies are experiencing top-line growth, collectively reaching a staggering ~3B people and generating ~$23B in revenue.
"GSV highlights the industry's best, and for us, this designation underscores and celebrates our commitment to innovation and harnessing the power of AI. We value our role as higher education's most trusted technology provider, and we strive to put students at the heart of everything we do," said Laura Ipsen, President and CEO, Ellucian. "Earning this recognition four years in a row indicates that we're fulfilling our mission to power higher education so that our 2,900 partner institutions can empower success for the more than 22 million students they serve worldwide."

Additionally, 21% of the companies stretch across two or more "Pre-K to Gray" categories.
