NEW YORK, December 3, 2020 — CB Insights today named Fabric to its inaugural Retail Tech 100 ranking, which showcases the 100 most promising B2B retail tech companies in the world. 

The 2020 Retail Tech 100 cohort highlights startups reimagining the retail experience across 13 categories, from e-commerce infrastructure to supply chain automation and cashierless checkout. 21 countries represented this year include India, China, Canada, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, among others. 

“The rate of change in retail is accelerating, and the Retail Tech 100 showcases the tech companies that are changing every facet of retail – from store automation to supply chain robotics to personalized merchandise discovery. Spanning 13 distinct technology markets, they address key challenges retailers face today while also helping them adapt and be ready for changing consumer habits,” said CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal. “The honorees also underscore the fact that the best technologies driving retail transformation may come from anywhere as they hail from 21 countries ranging from Canada to Singapore to Brazil to Sweden. As we head into 2021, we are excited to see the impact the Retail Tech 100 will have on customers, retailers, and markets.” 

“We are honored to be included in the Retail Tech 100,” said Fabric Co-Founder and CEO, Elram Goren. “As a leader in micro fulfillment, we take pride in pushing the ecommerce sector forward using advanced software and robotics, and solving one of the industry’s biggest pain points – efficient online order fulfillment. We look forward to helping more retailers offer a faster and more engaging online shopping experience that is scalable and profitable.”

Through an evidence-based approach, the CB Insights research team selected the Retail Tech 100 from nearly 15,000 applications and nominees, based on several factors including patent activity, business relations, investor profiles, news sentiment analysis, proprietary Mosaic scores, market potential, competitive landscape, team strength, and tech novelty. The Mosaic Score, based on CB Insights’ algorithm, measures the overall health and growth potential of private companies to help predict a company’s momentum.
