While Silicon Valley may be where numerous startups flock to launch their businesses, it's far from the only place entrepreneurs choose to set up shop.
The most valuable startup based in each of the 50 United States
PitchBook recently compiled a list of the most valuable startups headquartered in each of the 50 United States, including Washington D.C.
PitchBook recently compiled a list of the most valuable startups headquartered in each of the 50 United States, as well as D.C. Leading the list are California and New York, which are home to Uber and WeWork, respectively.
It's important to note the numbers for the startups in Alaska and South Dakota are not based on their valuations, since PitchBook didn't have available data on their values. Instead, these companies are evaluated by how much venture capitalist funding they've raised.
Additionally, PitchBook notes that there are companies in Illinois and Texas that have larger valuations, but have been left off the list because of recent troubles that have likely since affected the valuations of Illinois-based Outcome Health ($5.5 billion) and Texas-based Mozido ($2.4 billion).
Here is the list of the most valuable startups based in each state:
