Tech startup valuation data is tough to come by but our technology is becoming increasingly good at identifying rumored valuations when they are leaked which provides us with an interesting view into those tech companies that represent promising future exits (IPOs or M&A) as well as the industries that are hottest. We discussed this on Bloomberg TV this past week, and we’ll be putting out a report soon about the tech IPO pipeline and valuations, but to start, we wanted to share some very high-level stats on the 65 tech companies we’ve identified with $100M+ valuations who’ve raised financing since Jan 2011.

The histogram below shows the valuation distribution of these firms followed by the data table should you want to dig into the distribution of data on your own.
Some quick stats:
- 20% of these companies have a $1B+ valuation.
- There are another 85 companies that we estimate based on financing received (and sentiment – coming soon) that are above the $100M valuation range in tech which suggests 150 companies in the $100M+ category.
- Of tech deals over this period from Jan 2011 to Feb 2012, these 150 companies are representative of about 4.5% of tech companies that were funded.
