CB Insights is releasing the 2024 Tech IPO Pipeline, a list of 257 venture-backed companies that are likely to be weighing up going public in the next 12 to 18 months. Our analysis is based on a range of signals and datasets, including total equity funding (and how soon each company may need fresh capital), valuation, employee headcount, Mosaic score, stage of investment, and the year each company was founded.

We also looked at key people hires to identify companies that recently brought on a chief financial officer (CFO) with previous IPO or public-company experience — a sign they may be getting their financials in order ahead of the scrutiny that comes with being a public company.

Depending on market dynamics, it’s possible that many of these 257 companies will not end up going public — and those that do may not be strong performers. We are not trying to pick stock-market winners, and this list should not be viewed as investment advice.
