PrivateTechSharesEurope'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.
New — the Liquidity Heat Index scores which companies — Revolut, Monzo, Mistral and more — actually run programmes that let employees sell before an IPO.

Understand your equity before you act
PrivateTechShares is an education and tools service — not a broker or marketplace. We help you work out what your stake might be worth, the transfer rules and tax that apply, and how to prepare properly. We don't find buyers, hold funds, or take any transaction fee.

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 audit this list for freshness monthly.
Done the homework? See where to find a buyer for your private shares — company buybacks, tender offers, secondary platforms and investor networks, with a neutral directory for the US & Europe.
New to this? Start with what every founder & employee should know about their equity — the plain-English field guide.
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 Figures are as last reported and may be out of date.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 do not introduce buyers and sellers; we are not a broker and hold no money or securities. Take professional advice before acting.
