Where Are They Now? ... 13 Big Startups That Haven't Raised Since 2013

In April, Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield said, “this is the best time to raise money ever.”

But despite the flood of deals creating new unicorns, some startups anointed with nine-figure valuations just a couple of years ago are sitting quietly on the sidelines. Using CB Insights data, we identified 13 venture-backed companies previously valued at $100M+ that haven’t raised a new funding round since 2013 or earlier.

Some on the list are already moving toward a new round — or exit. Of note, Andreessen Horowitz-backed GitHub is reportedly seeking new funding at a $2B valuation, while ZocDoc was reportedly raising funding at a $1.3B valuation last July. Meanwhile, Flipboard, which last raised at a $800M valuation in 2013, has reportedly been in talks with Twitter about a potential acquisition.

Others appear to be in a more precarious position. For example, customer identity-management company Jumio recently swapped CEOs after a reported investigation into financial bookkeeping issues.

Together, these 13 companies have raised $1.23B in aggregate funding and carry an aggregate value of $9.1B. The full list of companies is below, along with some notes on their current outlook.
