Currently private · 10

Est 2002HawthorneIPO 2026-06
Fintech
Stripe

Payments infrastructure for the internet. Repeatedly cited as one of the most-anticipated tech IPOs, with periodic tender offers in lieu of a public listing.

Est 2010San Francisco
SaaS
Databricks

Unified analytics platform combining data warehouse and data lake patterns. The most-cited late-stage enterprise data IPO candidate, with 18 Form D filings to date — more than SpaceX's pre-IPO history.

Est 2013San Francisco
Consumer
Discord

Real-time chat platform that grew out of gaming communities into broader social infrastructure. Walked away from a Microsoft acquisition in 2021.

Est 2015San Francisco
SaaS
Notion

All-in-one workspace combining notes, docs, wikis, and project management. Bootstrapped origins, late-stage venture-funded after explosive growth in 2019-2021.

Est 2013San Francisco
SaaS
Canva

Graphic design platform used by 130M+ monthly active users. Australian-founded with US legal entity. Form D filings 2012-2016, then silent — consistent with the secondary-tender pattern many late-stage privates have moved to.

AI
Cohere

Enterprise-focused foundation model lab. Toronto-headquartered, US legal entity for Form D purposes. Backed by Nvidia, Salesforce, and PSP Investments.

Est 2019Toronto / San Francisco
AI
Figure AI

Humanoid robotics company. Single Form D filing in March 2024 disclosed initial venture funding — earliest-stage entry on this tracker, with the most upside if the company hits later-stage rounds.

Est 2022Sunnyvale
Fintech
Mercury

Banking infrastructure for startups. Filed both Form D (Reg D venture rounds) and Form C / C-U (Reg CF crowdfunding rounds) — one of the few late-stage privates to use both regulatory tracks.

Est 2017San Francisco
Fintech
Plaid

Bank-account API connectivity layer. Visa's $5.3B acquisition attempt was abandoned in early 2021 after DoJ antitrust review. Single Form D on record from 2016, then EDGAR-silent — Plaid is one of the cleanest examples of a major fintech operating entirely outside Form D disclosure post-2016.
