Startup exits worth $1 billion or more were more numerous in Q2 2026 than at any point since the 2021 market peak, according to Crunchbase data -- powered by SpaceX's record IPO (a $2.1 trillion first-day market cap on $75 billion raised), Cerebras's and Quantinuum's debuts, and SpaceX's $60 billion acquisition of Cursor.
