SpaceX, Stripe and UiPath were the largest U.S. unicorns as of April 2021, topping a ranking that looks at the market values of 50 American unicorn companies. This ranking is based on estimates provided by multiple sources that looked at company valuations.

This excludes, for example, Venmo, a payment company which is owned by PayPal.
Leading unicorns in the United States as of April 2021, by market valuation
(in billion U.S. dollars)
A unicorn company is a privately owned startup that has a current valuation of one billion U.S. dollars or over. Once a company has gone public (IPO) or has been acquired it is no longer termed as a unicorn. All published figures are best estimations based on latest publications of sources. Figures are correct as of April 2021. Figures and valuations are rounded as some company valuations have not been externally verified and are self-published. Latest valuations used. As multiple sources were used and valuations vary between sources, the most recent valuation was used. Where valuations differed but the reporting date was the same, mean averages were used. Industries were assigned by the sources. Where companies crossed industries, the major category was used as determined by the source. Where companies have multiple countries listed the country of headquarters has been used.
*Coinbase went public on April 14, 2021, but was included as it was still a unicorn on April 1, 2021.
