NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, April 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CB Insights today named Embedl to its ninth annual AI 100, showcasing the 100 most promising private artificial intelligence companies in the world.

Our research team picked winning companies based on CB Insights datasets, including deal activity, industry partnerships, team strength, investor strength, employee headcount, and proprietary Commercial Maturity and Mosaic scores.
