Benchmark’s biggest current holdings.
The most valuable companies Benchmark still holds — unicorns and thoroughbreds it has backed, ordered by Dealroom’s latest valuation. Companies that have been acquired or gone public are in Exits instead. Where a cap table names Benchmark directly, the stake and its estimated value are shown too.

Benchmark’s biggest exits.
