In March, fewer firms joined the unicorn club than in previous months. Despite a delayed IPO market, evidence of a slowdown in venture capital, and lower late-stage values, none went public. According to Crunchbase data, 34 new private startups were valued at $1 billion or more in a disclosed fundraising in March 2022, compared to 49 in February and 46 in January. The Unicorn Board's worth hit $4 trillion for the first time earlier this year. With 1,260 firms listed, it now has a total value of $4.3 trillion. The shrinking in unicorn emergence implies that the fundraising channels are turning away from the momentum in 2021 when startups raised money at higher valuations and often within months of previous fundings.
Here are ten unicorns from Crunchbase Unicorn Board that joined the unicorn club in 2022.
