EU Unicorns · Liquidity reference

Europe's top private companies — and how their shares change hands

A plain-English reference for founders and employees who hold equity in Europe's leading private (unicorn) companies. Every figure is a last reported valuation, with its source and date. Information only — not affiliated with these companies, and not investment advice.

Why this exists. Private-company shares have no live price, and there's no easy, discreet way for a small European holder to sell them. If you hold vested shares or options in one of these companies and want to understand your position — or turn part of it into cash — start here, then see the guide.

The list

Sorted by last reported valuation. Figures are as reported by the company or press on the date shown, in the currency reported; they change over time — always confirm the latest.

How we compile this

We list only publicly reported facts, each linked to a public source (the company's own announcement where available, otherwise reputable press) and dated. We show no logos and imply no affiliation, endorsement or partnership; all company names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Valuations are point-in-time references, not live or tradeable prices. We review the page quarterly.

General information only — not legal, tax or investment advice, and not an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any securities. Figures are as last reported and may be out of date. PrivateTechShares is not affiliated with, endorsed by or partnered with any company listed. We introduce buyers and sellers; we are not a broker and hold no money or securities. Take professional advice before acting.
