Highest-Revenue Private Companies 2026 (Ranked)

The top 3 by tracked revenue: Anthropic ($65B annualized), OpenAI ($40B+), Databricks ($7B+). Ranked below: the top 22 private companies by latest reported revenue, ARR or run-rate, across every industry we cover.

Private, US-tracked companies only; figures dated 2025-07-01 or later, never a stale, rumored or disputed number. Not a market total.

Methodology

Figures tracked by Value Add VC from company statements, SEC filings, enrichment and news outlets โ€” not a total for the whole market or a complete list of every private company. Each company shows its most recently reported figure dated 2025-07-01 or later; an older, rumored, or disputed figure is left off rather than shown as current.

The metric is labeled honestly per row โ€” Revenue, ARR, or Run-rate โ€” since they are not interchangeable and some companies only disclose one. Ranked by value regardless of which metric. Public companies are excluded.

Common questions

Which private company has the highest revenue in 2026?

Anthropic, at $65B annualized (run-rate, as of 2026-09-21), per The Wall Street Journal.

Is this revenue, ARR, or run-rate?

A mix โ€” each row is labeled honestly: 9 of the 22 companies below report true revenue, and 13 report ARR or an annualized run-rate instead, which is not the same thing as revenue and can be a larger or smaller number.

What counts as a private company here?

A company not publicly traded โ€” no stock ticker, no market cap we track, and not on the SEC's list of listed issuers we check against. Companies that have filed to go public but haven't yet traded are still counted as private.

What's the highest valuation-to-revenue multiple on this list?

Cyera, at roughly 80x โ€” its latest tracked valuation ($12B) divided by its revenue ($150M+).
