Hightouch is named a Forbes Cloud 100 Rising Star

"We're incredibly proud to be named a Forbes Cloud 100 Rising Star. Our vision is to make data accessible and useful to everyone in a company," said Kashish Gupta, co-founder of Hightouch. "We see this recognition as a huge vote of confidence in that vision, and a strong sign that unlocking warehouse data with Hightouch is the ultimate solution to the age-old problem of managing customer data."

"The Rising Stars of today are the Cloud 100 companies of tomorrow," said Byron Deeter, a top cloud investor, and partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. "As they continue to gain momentum and ramp toward unicorn status, many of our past Rising Stars have gone on to become members of the exclusive Cloud 100. As an early partner to many mission-driven founders over the years, we are thrilled to celebrate the bright futures of our 2021 Rising Stars."

"The Rising Stars epitomize the type of innovation that is driving the cloud industry forward," said Alex Kayyal, Managing Partner, Salesforce Ventures. "The companies on this year's list show great potential for reaching the Cloud 100 list in the future and I'm looking forward to watching what they can accomplish next."

"The companies of the Cloud 100 list represent the best and brightest emerging companies in the cloud sector," said Alex Konrad, senior editor at Forbes. "Every year, it gets more difficult to make this list — meaning even more elite company for those who do. Congratulations to each of the 2021 Cloud 100 honorees and to our 20 Rising Stars up-and-comers poised to join their ranks."
