The U.S. unicorns most likely to go public in 2025 | NVCA/PitchBook


A raft of U.S. unicorns -- those valued at $1 billion or more -- are likely to go public in 2025, according to the PitchBook/NVCA.

Nizar Tarhuni, EVP of research and market intelligence at PitchBook, said in a statement, “While 2024 saw a steady uptick in completed financings and the aggregate number of dollars invested – the proliferation of early-stage AI-focused transactions at hefty valuations masks a broader venture industry still facing corrective challenges.” The latest Venture Monitor looks at unicorns likely to go public in 2025.He said that, ultimately, the VC landscape is lacking meaningful exits, driven by a host of issues including buyer-seller valuation mismatches stemming from inflated rounds in previous vintages and regulatory headwinds impeding deal appetite at the larger part of the market. “That said, fundraising may remain lukewarm, particularly as other pockets of the market seem to be gaining steam, competing for dollars in allocator’s alternatives buckets, ultimately favoring larger venture platforms and established managers.”
