Roblox Says Co Named To TIME's Inaugural List Of TIME100 Most Influential Companies

Today, TIME reveals the TIME100 Most Influential Companies, a new list--and an expansion of the annual TIME100 list of the world's most influential people--that highlights 100 companies making an extraordinary impact around the world. Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX), a global platform bringing millions of people together through shared experiences, is amongst the list of 100 companies honored by TIME in the Pioneer category.

"At Roblox we are building a metaverse, a 3D persistent and shared virtual human co-experience," said David Baszucki, CEO, Roblox. "Our team is focused on inventing the technology to bring these new virtual experiences to life, and it's an honor to be recognized as a 'pioneer' and one of the most influential companies by TIME."

To assemble the list, TIME solicited nominations from every sector--ranging from health care and entertainment to transportation and technology--from editors and correspondents around the world, as well as from industry experts. Then, TIME editors evaluated each one on key factors, including relevance, impact, innovation, leadership and success.
