SAN FRANCISCO, December 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

CB Insights today named Gong.io to the prestigious AI 100, a select group of promising private companies working on groundbreaking artificial intelligence technology. CB Insights CEO and co-founder Anand Sanwal will reveal the full list of the second annual AI 100 companies at the A-ha! conference in San Francisco.

"Last year's AI 100 enjoyed amazing success in the year since earning this recognition.  55 of them went onto raise additional funding nearing $2B and 5 were acquired.  

This year's list was culled from 1000+ applications and looks even more impressive.  These are companies using artificial intelligence in industries from drug discovery and cybersecurity to robotics and legal tech.  I'm happy that CB Insights is able to shine a light on the founders and companies that will revolutionize these industries and look forward to seeing what they do in 2018 and beyond." said CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal.

"Conversation Intelligence, powered by AI is the greatest transformation in sales since CRM, and Gong is leading the way" said Amit Bendov, Gong.io CEO and Co-Founder. "We are honored to be recognized through CB Insights AI 100 and excited to continue our revolution in B2B SaaS technology."

The CB Insights research team selected the AI 100 companies based on criteria, examining company-submitted data and the company's Mosaic Score. The Mosaic Score, based on CB Insights' National Science Foundation-funded algorithm, measures the overall health and growth potential of private companies. Through this evidence-based, statistically-driven approach, the Mosaic Score can help predict a company's momentum, maket health and financial viability.
