Where are the Billion-Dollar Club startups?
Note: See the list of the Billion-Dollar Club startups here.
The only surprise here is the magnitude of California's dominance of the "Billion-Dollar Club" - about 70% of the Billion-Dollar Club members are located in California.
The companies located outside of California are:
- Fanatics (Jacksonville, FL)
- GrubHub (Chicago)
- Wayfair (Boston)
- Activio (Waltham, MA)
- MongoDB, Mobli, ZocDoc, Gilt Groupe, Fab.com (New York)
50% of the California "Billion-Dollar Club" are located in San Francisco.
All of the San Francisco companies are - not surprisingly - internet and software startups. Looks like that San Francisco and Marin County real estate boom isn't ending anytime soon.
