First, there was the Magnificent 7 of publicly traded companies: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (NYSE:MSFT), Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA).

Now, there is the Private Magnificent 7 of U.S. companies in the innovation space, according to private market platform Forge Global Holdings (NYSE:FRGE).

Forge has identified these startup "unicorns" — privately owned startups that are valued at $1 billion or more — as SpaceX, OpenAI, Stripe, Inc., Databricks, Fanatics, Inc., Scale AI and Rippling.

These companies, like their publicly traded counterparts, have shown "superior growth and remarkable resilience" during the Great Reset period of lowering valuations over the last 2.5 years, Forge said.

"While the post-2021 market downturn was undoubtedly a challenging period for the private market, the Private Magnificent 7 proved resilient," said Kelly Rodriques, CEO of Forge Global.

Though it is 30 times smaller in valuation than the public Magnificent 7 — which is roughly the equal to the size of Japan, Canada and U.K. stock markets combined — the Private Magnificent 7 has outperformed the listed companies by 16.9% in the past year, Forge said.
