The cumulative market valuation of unicorns headquartered in the United States or Canada that were active in the technology and telecommunications sector reached almost 210 billion U.S. dollars as of April 2021. This according to estimates based company valuations as provided by multiple sources. Note that the figures provided here are based on unicorns that did not go public via an IPO and were not at some point acquired by another company. This excludes, for example, Venmo, a payment company which is owned by PayPal.
Market valuation of unicorns in the United States and Canada as of April 2021, by industry
(in billion U.S. dollars)
A unicorn company is a privately owned startup that has a current valuation of one billion U.S. dollars or over. Once a company has gone public (IPO) or has been acquired it is no longer termed as a unicorn. All published figures are best estimations based on latest publications of sources. Figures are correct as of April 2021. Figures and valuations are rounded as some company valuations have not been externally verified and are self-published. Latest valuations used. As multiple sources were used and valuations vary between sources, the most recent valuation was used. Where valuations differed but the reporting date was the same, mean averages were used. Industries were assigned by the sources. Where companies crossed industries, the major category was used as determined by the source. Where companies have multiple countries listed the country of headquarters has been used.
