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.
