Methodology

What counts. A company is on this tracker when it is private and independent today and its latest valuation in Value Add VC's company database is $1 billion or more, with a published source. The figure shown is the most recent one: a reported valuation, a funding round's post-money valuation, or (marked "est.") a figure re-cited to a page that states it. A figure from a lower-tier source (Wikipedia, aggregators, rewrites) counts only when a second source states the same figure within 5%; otherwise we use the company's latest figure from a stronger source, or leave the company off. A company's own announcement of its own valuation (its website, newsroom or a wire release it issued) is a primary source. Valuations set by a tender offer or secondary share sale, where existing shareholders sell rather than the company raising money, are labelled in the table. Enterprise values and deal values are not valuations and are not counted. Non-dollar valuations count at the US-dollar figure in our data.

What's excluded. Public companies (for example Oscar Health, Compass, Lemonade, BuzzFeed, Taboola, DoubleVerify, Sprinklr, Rent the Runway, 1stDibs, CoreWeave, Cerebras and SpaceX, which absorbed xAI); acquired or merged companies, including announced acquisitions (for example Cursor, Hugging Face, World Labs, Miro, Skydance and Electronic Arts); subsidiaries of other companies (for example Waymo); valuations that are only rumored, in talks or targeted; IPO pricing and market values; and any figure without a source link. When a better source calls a figure talks, it is not counted.

Dates and headquarters. The as-of date is the date of the valuation, not of this page. Some companies have not set a new valuation in years; those rows are labelled "last priced" with the year. Headquarters come from our company data; where we have none, the company is counted as Other/unknown rather than guessed. SF Bay Area includes San Francisco, Palo Alto, Mountain View, San Jose and the rest of the Bay Area.

Unicorns: common questions

How many unicorns are in New York City?

Value Add VC tracks 16 private companies headquartered in New York City with a latest sourced valuation of $1B or more, as of November 4, 2026, worth a combined $210B. The largest are Ramp ($60B), Kalshi ($40B), Reflection AI ($25B), Polymarket ($21B) and Fluidstack ($18B). These are the unicorns we track with a sourced valuation, not every unicorn in the market; 33 companies on our list have no headquarters in our data yet and are counted as Other/unknown.

How many unicorns are in San Francisco?

Value Add VC tracks 59 private $1B+ companies headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, as of November 4, 2026, worth a combined $2.68T. The largest are Anthropic ($965B), OpenAI ($852B), Databricks ($190B), Stripe ($159B) and Ripple ($50B). These are the unicorns we track with a sourced valuation, not every unicorn in the market; 33 companies on our list have no headquarters in our data yet and are counted as Other/unknown.

What is a unicorn startup?

A unicorn is a privately held, venture-backed company valued at $1 billion or more. Venture capitalist Aileen Lee coined the term in 2013, when billion-dollar startups were rare. A company stops being a unicorn on this tracker when it goes public, is acquired or merges into another company, so this page lists only companies that are still private and independent.

Which sectors produce the most unicorns in NYC and SF?

Among the unicorns we track, the most common sectors in New York City are AI infra (4), Fintech (4) and Enterprise SaaS (3); in the San Francisco Bay Area they are AI infra (29), Developer tools (4) and AI (3). Counts are companies, by the sector Value Add VC assigns each one.

What is the most valuable private company?

On our tracker, Anthropic is the most valuable private company at $965B (as of May 28, 2026, per CNBC), ahead of OpenAI at $852B (Mar 31, 2026). Rumored or in-talks valuations are not counted until a round is announced or closed.
