Which US companies had the biggest valuation jumps in 2019?

Valuation step-ups in the private market continue to be one of the crucial indicators in evaluating the overall health of the venture landscape, especially as companies raise bigger and bigger rounds and strive to meet investor expectations. In 2Q, VC-backed companies in the US pulled in more than $25 billion for the sixth consecutive quarter, and many of those rounds came with lofty valuation gains.

Through the first half of the year, valuation growth has been strong in the US, according to our latest VC Valuations Report, with late-stage valuations reaching new heights. In addition, the median early-stage valuation step-up multiples (a comparison of a company’s latest pre-money valuation to its previous round’s post-money valuation) have been on the rise since 2016, and in 1H 2019, they surpassed 2.0x for the first time in at least a decade.

Here’s a look at the VC-backed companies that have seen the biggest valuation jumps in 2019, including those with the largest valuation step-up multiples from one round to the next, as well as those that have seen the largest gains in their post-valuations.
