Eligiblity

To be eligible, startups must be less than 10 years old, headquartered in the identified region, or predominantly focused on that market (e.g. > 80% revenue/customers). They must also be start-ups or scale-ups, that is 'pre-exit' (i.e. not acquired, a subsidiary or listed) and not controlled by an investor group (e.g. via private equity buyout or controlling investment).

‍

Methodology

Companies are evaluated on five equally weighted dimensions. HolonIQ analysts, regional and industry experts evaluate an assigned number of companies in the five dimensions. All companies are scored on every dimension on a 10-point scale.

‍

Once initial evaluations are complete, scoring is processed to adjust for variance and bias in each evaluator's unique scoring approach. This reduces differences in how the 10-point scale is applied and variance in outlier evaluations on a specific company, compared to peer evaluators assessment of the same company.

‍

A total weighted adjusted score and ranking is established, following which HolonIQ consults with select regional and industry experts to confirm the final cohort.

The size, quality and attractiveness of the market segment in which the company competes.

Quality & uniqueness of the product, service or technology, with demonstrated market and customer impact.
