Ask HN: Which start-ups are in the 'billion dollar club'?

1 point·shahedkhan30··5 comments

Recently a lot of start-ups have been making it in the 'billion dollar club' also known as the billion dollar evaluation.

Recently Square and Groupon have been welcomed in this new group, are their any other start-ups that recently (past 12 months) make it to this club, with this valuation?

Coupons.com - http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/08/coupons-com-raises-200-mill...

Airbnb - http://techcrunch.com/2011/05/30/airbnb-has-arrived-raising-...

I dont know, but I dont like the idea of things jumping up that fast and I am sure we will see more soon. Not good.

I 'sort of' agree with you, too many start-ups have been reaching this mark, but some deserve to, such as Groupon.

I'm not so sure about AirBNB, or Coupons.com

Thanks guys, anything else?
