The private market is experiencing a period of significant growth, defined by record level valuations and a recent surge of investor enthusiasm. Since the end of 2022, the value of the top seven private companies — The Private Magnificent 7 (“Private Mag 7”) — quadrupled from $264 billion to $1.2 trillion in combined value, underscoring the scale and momentum that have reshaped the private market landscape over the past two years. The surge during this period has been powered by a concentrated group of category leaders with artificial intelligence (AI) fueling the strongest wave of private market growth. The newly refreshed Private Mag 7 reflects this dynamic shift, with an even stronger emphasis on AI-driven innovation.
