Morningstar PitchBook US Unicorn 100

What this index holds, how it is built, and what its record does not cover. Morningstar Indexes, built with PitchBook.

What it tracks

The Morningstar PitchBook US Unicorn 100 Index tracks the largest privately held, late-stage venture capital-backed US companies with post-money valuations of at least $1 billion. Index constituents are derived from PitchBook’s database of venture capital-backed companies, and the index methodology employs a proprietary three-factor pricing model to estimate daily valuations. The indexes deliver timely insights and unprecedented transparency into the performance and behavior of the 100 largest US unicorns.

The hundred largest US unicorns. The broadest of these indexes for a US reader, and the one whose constituents overlap most with the companies PrePost already values.

Run by Morningstar Indexes, built with PitchBook. PrePost has no relationship with the provider and is not paid to list this index.

Most of the record is backfilled

The index began on 2022-10-18. Its performance record starts 2014-06-20, so the years before 2022-10-18 are backfilled rather than live. A long-run return quoted for this index is mostly a backtest.

Private marks can be stale

The provider's own reporting notes that where transactions are infrequent, secondary-market marks can stay unchanged even as new information emerges.

Verified means a full PrePost profile with sourced figures. Listed means the company is named here because a benchmark we track names it; PrePost has published no figure for it and does not rank it.

The provider lists “Figure” with no further identifier. At least two unicorns use the name: Figure AI, which PrePost tracks, and Figure Technologies. PrePost does not publish an inference as a fact.

Vehicles that track it

None that PrePost tracks. That does not mean none exists: a product can track an index without PrePost having verified it, and PrePost lists a vehicle only once it can source what the vehicle is and what it holds.

Sources

An index is not an investment. Tracking one costs money and the product that tracks it may not hold what the index holds. This page describes the index, not any product, and is not investment advice.
