Sifted launched the latest Sifted 100: DACH & CEE leaderboard, ranking the fastest-growing startups across Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and Central and Eastern Europe based on revenue growth. The rankings highlight companies achieving exceptional capital efficiency, with some recording revenue growth of over 700% in recent years. The list is a key reference for venture capital and private equity investors tracking the region's most dynamic scaleups.

Among the standout performers are companies like Sifted 100 highlighted firms operating out of Berlin and Vienna, which have grown rapidly without heavy outside funding. Several entries on the list are valued at modest revenue figures but demonstrate strong unit economics and disciplined growth strategies. These startups focus on organic expansion, keeping burn rates low while scaling sustainably.

Notable names include Berlin-based fintechs and Vienna-founded SaaS platforms that have attracted follow-on funding from prominent regional investors. Others are backed by HV Capital and Target Global, reflecting continued institutional interest. The leaderboard underscores how capital-efficient business models are driving the next wave of growth across the DACH and CEE startup ecosystem.
