01 · Biggest holdings

Crosslink Capital’s biggest current holdings.

The most valuable companies Crosslink Capital 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 Crosslink Capital directly, the stake and its estimated value are shown too.
