We’re excited to announce that Motive has been named to the Forbes 2025 Cloud 100, the definitive ranking of the world’s top 100 private cloud companies, published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners.
This recognition underscores our ongoing commitment to supporting the organizations that power the physical economy. Motive’s mission is to empower the people who run physical operations with AI-powered tools to make their work safer and more productive.
From construction and transportation and logistics to field services and energy, we’re building technology that solves real problems. Our focus is on outcomes — helping customers reduce accidents, lower costs, and unlock growth. That commitment shapes our innovation, drives how we use data, and ensures our platform delivers measurable, lasting impact.
This marks the 10th consecutive year the Cloud 100 has reviewed submissions from hundreds of cloud startups and private companies. To assess market leadership, the Cloud 100 enlists a panel of public cloud company CEOs, who help evaluate and rank their private company peers. The evaluation process involves ranking companies across four factors: market leadership (35%); estimated valuation (30%); operating metrics (20%); and people & culture (15%).
“For the last decade, the Forbes Cloud 100 list has recognized the most innovative private cloud companies in the world, and this year’s standouts are among the most impressive we’ve ever seen,” said Richard Nieva, Forbes editor of the Cloud 100.
“As we mark the 10th year of the Cloud 100 with our 2025 rankings, we celebrate a highly competitive cohort of companies that, for the first time, collectively exceed $1 trillion in value,” said Elliott Robinson, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “The cloud is in a period of rapid, AI-driven transformation, with this year’s cohort demonstrating how AI is fundamentally reshaping how the best cloud companies grow, scale, and compete.”
