For mature technology companies that produce profits, a price-to-earnings ratio can be helpful to evaluate the stock. The higher the multiple, the more the market is pricing in a company’s future earnings growth. For younger tech companies that aren’t yet profitable, revenue growth can be a better indicator of potential success. If a company’s spending as a percentage of revenue is increasing, that could be a sign that the business model hasn’t yet been proven.
Tech for good
From helping refugees in Ukraine, to fighting wildfires, to reducing waste, these tech companies are using their innovative products to tackle global problems and help people. The winners of our Uplink Youth Mental Health Challenge 2022, Norwegian digital learning software company Attensi and clinical psychologist Solfrid Raknes, created the gamified simulation training Helping Hand to help teenagers (especially those living in warzones) cope with stress, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. The company also won our Tech Breakout award in 2025 for its generative AI search engine Perplexity. Employees praise the fast-paced work environment, excellent benefits and opportunities for professional development.
