Q4 2026 · INTERACTIVE LANDSCAPE
58 vendors on the Scale × Momentum matrix. Y = scale (public/valuation/raised, composite). X = momentum (recent round size + recency). Dot size = funding velocity. Halo = freshness. Filter by category and type.
High scale AND high momentum — setting the category direction right now.
Smaller scale but rising fast — fresh capital, AI-native, gaining share.
Top of the scale axis (public, acquired, or unicorn) but momentum has slowed.
Mid-scale with steady activity — building, not breaking through yet.
Public/acquired with no recent activity — the legacy footprint.
