Losing Money on Purpose: Pre-Profit Growth Done Right (October 2026)

Pre-profit growth done right: funded, scoring well.

Losing money on purpose is only a strategy when it is funded and building something. Just 17 companies clear both parts of that sentence. CrowdStrike leads with a growth score of 82 and revenue compounding 32 percent a year at a $113B cap, with Samsara at 80, then Datadog and Natera at 78.

Seventeen is the number worth staring at: across our whole coverage, pre-profit growth that stays funded and keeps scoring well is this rare. A median growth score of 73 says the survivors are not marginal cases. The open question for each is whether the losses are an investment or a habit.
