Cisco Investments’ biggest current holdings.
The most valuable companies Cisco Investments 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 Cisco Investments directly, the stake and its estimated value are shown too.
Estimated value = Cisco Investments’ disclosed ownership % × Dealroom’s latest company valuation; direct named stakes only, exited positions excluded. Figures are indicative, not reported marks. Cisco Investments also appears inside investor groups in Cohere, Cohesity, Island, Thinking Machines Lab, Uniphore, eSentire, where a standalone stake isn’t disclosed. See the underlying cap tables on Dealroom →
Cisco Investments’ biggest exits.
Portfolio companies that IPO’d or were acquired at $1B+, with the valuation recorded at exit and — for those still public — their value today. Exit events come from each company’s funding-round history; entry stage from Cisco Investments’ transaction record.
Where Cisco Investments’ portfolio is concentrated.
