Wing Venture Capital Releases Eighth Annual ‘Enterprise Tech 30’ List, Marking the Year AI Agents Moved from Demo to Production
SAN FRANCISCO--( BUSINESS WIRE)--The eighth annual Enterprise Tech 30, a list of the most promising private companies across the enterprise technology spectrum, was announced today by Wing Venture Capital in partnership with Eric Newcomer of Newcomer Media. Wing, an early stage investor and long-term company builder in data and AI for business, continues its tradition of curating this definitive industry list spanning enterprise companies at all stages of maturity.
This list and accompanying research are the product of a two-phase process to distill a stack-ranked list of the top venture-backed enterprise tech companies and uncover key insights and trends driving the market. Of the more than 15,000 venture-backed enterprise tech companies in consideration, 60 companies have been selected as the enterprise tech leaders, segmented by “stage” as determined by an institutional research process.
This year, 98 venture capitalists across 85 firms participated in the ET30 list selection process. The group ranged from solo capitalists and seed-stage firms to buyout funds and hedge funds with venture capital practices. The VC participants have a collective $2.6 trillion in assets under management (AUM).

“The theme for 2026 is agents moving from demo to production,” said Peter Wagner, founding partner at Wing Venture Capital and creator of the ET30. “Last year, we saw the rise of agentic applications. This year, those agents are being deployed and doing real work across legal, accounting, insurance, IT, and customer support. Enterprises are moving past experimentation and concentrating their AI investments around the companies delivering in production.”
