Accel SaaS 100 Europe 2017: Calling the Leaders


Nominations are now open for the 2017 edition of Accel SaaS 100 Europe, the list of the top 100 leading SaaS companies emerging from Europe & Israel.

Last year, after many months of research, we published alongside our Article “SaaS Wars: Europe awakens” the first list of 100 leading SaaS companies from Europe & Israel, in conjunction with SaaStock 2016, the first large scale SaaS event taking place in Europe. In front of the enthusiasm raised by the post and the conference, we have decided to renew the initiative this year and update our Top 100 for 2017. We will even go further and invite the founders of the Top 100 companies to a unique half-day event organised by Accel in partnership with SaaStock 2017, on Monday September 18th, right before the start of the conference. 

This past year’s winners have raised a combined $2.5 billion to redefine industries on a global scale. They include Trustpilot, Intercom, Doctolib, Showpad, Zerto, Algolia, Qubit and Typeform among others. To compile last year’s list, we screened more than 1,000 companies across 12 countries in Europe, met hundreds of them, and spoke with dozens of entrepreneurs & investors from the SaaS ecosystem. Nobody is perfect - we know we might have missed some amazing companies, so this year we are opening up the entry. 

Do you think you are ready to join the ranks of Europe & Israel’s most promising SaaS Leaders? If so, it is easy to apply, just fill the official nomination form here. Feel free to also refer any other company you think should be on this list. After you submit your nomination, use the hashtag #AccelSaaS100 and tell the world why we should pay close attention to your nominee.

The nomination submission deadline is June 15th 2017 and we will announce the final list on September 18th. 

Stay tuned as we release more information and we look forward to hosting the companies shaping the future of SaaS in Dublin in September!
