01 · Biggest holdings

DAG Ventures’ biggest current holdings.

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