Top blockchain companies

We talk about blockchain with many of our potential clients and investors. And the same question keeps coming up: who are the top blockchain companies? The answer to this question can vary a lot. How do you define the top companies? Is it market share? Or team size? Or investor interest? Or potential? Or technology contribution? Are we talking globally? Or by country? Or, maybe, by industry?
