ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., January 11, 2023— CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, today announced it is accepting nominations for its eleventh annual Disruptor 50, a definitive list of the most ambitious, innovative private companies transforming the economy and forcing public giants to reimagine the way they do business.

The deadline to submit the official application form is Friday, February 17 at 11:59pm ET. Complete details on how to apply can be found here: d50nominations.cnbc.com.

To be eligible to submit, companies must be privately held, independently owned, and founded after January 1, 2008. Nominations may be submitted by any company founder or executive, investor in the company, or any of their communications representatives.

Nominees will be put through a comprehensive and rigorous process of researching and scoring, across a wide range of quantitative and qualitative criteria, including scalability, revenue and user growth, and workforce diversity.

Companies included on the 2022 Disruptor 50 list focused on a wide range of solutions to global issues from untangling supply chains to controlling carbon emissions, to democratizing access to financial services and improving health outcomes for vulnerable populations. Last year’s list of companies had a combined valuation of more than $552 billion, making it the highest-valued list in Disruptor 50’s ten-year history.
