CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--G2, the world's largest and most trusted software marketplace, today reports strong growth and innovation in 2022 – its 10th year in business – on the heels of a record 2021.
2 million reviews power world's largest software marketplace
As software buyers increasingly turn to real customer feedback to inform their research and purchasing decisions, G2's marketplace has continued to experience rapid growth. Today, 80 million buyers visit G2 annually – which features 2 million trusted and verified reviews on more than 145,000 software products and services in 2,100 different categories.
While the reviews on G2 are helpful to software buyers, they also play a role in contributing to the greater good. Through its G2 Gives program – incentivizing honest reviews for charitable donations – more than $900,000 has now been donated to G2's 12 pillar organizations. The company innovated its reviews approach too, offering 100 unique NFTs for those reviewing cryptocurrency or blockchain software products on G2.
With growing employee and customer bases, G2 continues to be recognized for its workplace culture and growth trajectory
G2's marketplace isn't the only area that expanded in 2022. As the company saw an uptick in demand for its data-driven offerings – across Marketing Solutions, G2 Track, and G2 Investor Solutions – G2 added 588 customers over the past year.
At the same time, G2 expanded its global workforce to 700 employees – a 27% increase since 2021. This included several key hires, including Eunice Buhler as VP and Head of Legal, and Roger Valade as SVP of Engineering.
With the company's continued focus on its employees and customers, G2 was recognized by nine different awards in 2022, including Forbes America's Best Startup Employers, Inc. 5000, Inc. Best Workplaces, BuiltIn LGBTQIA+ Advocacy Awards, and Deloitte Technology Fast 500, among others.
