58 Venture-Backed Companies Listed Above $1B in H1 2026, Raising $110.8B Against $12.6B a Year Earlier
Crunchbase reported on September 2 that H1 2026 produced 58 venture-backed listings at $1 billion or above, up from 27 in H1 2025, collectively raising $110.8 billion versus $12.6 billion, with SpaceX's June IPO accounting for $86 billion of that on its own. Its eight to watch before the window closes are Anthropic, Oura ($11B+), Notion, Kraken, SambaNova ($11B post-money), Stegra ($12.6B), Stripe and OpenEvidence ($12B). Notion appearing on an IPO watchlist while shipping agent APIs and Skills is the more useful signal here than the aggregate.
