These companies are built to exhibit resilience amid volatility—and deliver better-than-average growth in the long term.

Long before Facebook became Meta, this gaming platform had built a metaverse, enabling users to create and play games, attend concerts, and just hang out in virtual spaces. Roblox claims 89&nbsp;million daily users, and revenue—mostly from in-game purchases and other e-commerce—is expected to top $4&nbsp;billion in 2024. Challenges loom: Profits remain elusive, and critics want the company to do more to fight online predators. (Roblox says its platform is “safe and secure.”)

Future 50 2023-Roblox

The metaverse hasn’t yet turned into the gigantic business opportunity that everyone was enthusing about during the depths of the COVID pandemic. But Roblox, the online entertainment platform that lets users build their own games, is arguably that space’s biggest success story so far. Much of Gen Z has grown up playing or building Roblox games (or both); the platform claims more than 70 million daily users, most of whom are under 16, and much coveted by advertisers.

These companies empower employees to bring their whole selves to work, prioritize their well-being, and grow in their careers.

Employees say: 
 
“It's unique in the video game landscape to build a platform of this importance, with ambitions to be the next revolution in entertainment and human interaction, and have a great work-life balance while doing it.”
