<p>19 March 2018 Unicorns and big exits: Outlook on Europe's most valuable companies The intelligent global database to identify growth opportunities and track innovative companies Cover: Maui, Hawaii, January 16 2016. Professional surfer Joao Marco Maffini rides a giant wave at the legendary big wave surf break known as "Jaws" on one the largest swells of the year. Does Europe produce enough big VC-backed exits? Does Europe produce big tech companies? Big tech goes beyond unicorn definition only: Europe counts at least 154 tech companies valued over $1 billion (roughly 0.8 billion) - 31 tech companies are known European unicorns, here defined as private VC-backed companies over $1 billion - 12 tech companies are private equity backed and may exit soon - 35 tech companies are under corporate ownership, following an acquisition - 76 tech companies are publicly traded, some of them never having gone through any institutional venture capital funding stages UK, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland are generating the biggest returns in Europe, both historically and looking ahead. Among those countries UK, Germany and Sweden are in the lead Which VCs are consistently backing big tech? Historically, Index Ventures most consistently delivers big exits, followed by Accel, HV Partners, and Insight Venture Looking ahead, Accel Partners has the most unicorns in its portfolio (7 companies), followed by Index Ventures (6 companies). Late stage firms like Baillie Gifford, Softbank and DST also have several unicorns in their portfolio Other notable "heavy hitters" include Lakestar, Vitruvian, Scottish Equity Partners, Atomico, Bessemer, Insight VP, Institutional VP, Balderton, 83North, Northzone and Piton Capital Outlook: does Europe produce enough VC-backed exits? Big exits really do matter: the ten biggest exits typically represent 70-80% of the returns, in most years In 2017, fewer big exits in 2017 resulted in a 60% drop in total realised exit value However, the visible pipeline of big exits is strong at 60 billion. That figure still excludes high-potential companies such as (GoEurope, GetYourGuide, Monzo, Trustpilot, Atom Bank, Made.com, Ozon, Kreditech and many others) and companies under-the-radar 3 104B 85B 75B 40B 36B 27B 25B 24B 21B 18B 11B 10B 8B 8B 8B 6B 5B SAP SE Booking ASML NXP ARM Group Amadeus Infineon Nokia STMicroelectronics IHS Markit Zalando Supercell Asos Just Eat Skype Delivery Hero King.com Big tech goes beyond unicorns only: many of Europe's most valuable tech companies are publicly traded Source: public market prices or last known transaction value.
