隨著“獨角獸”，即估值超過10億美元的私有公司變得越來越常見，IPO（首次公開募股）市場熱度現(xiàn)在明顯降低。如果公司能繼續(xù)從私募股本那里籌得資金，按照這一思路，他們?yōu)楹我鲜腥ソ?jīng)受審查，承擔法律責任呢？

也有少數(shù)公司勇于進行首次公開募股，最近收官的幾起案例好壞參半。阿里巴巴集團在去年9月成功募資250億美元，創(chuàng)造了美股最高融資紀錄。而Etsy盡管在4月成功上市，但其股價隨后大幅下跌，成為2015年表現(xiàn)最差的新股。

盡管如此，根據(jù)Pitchbook公司的預(yù)測，依然會有更多的公司上市。這家私募和風投研究公司列出了10家可能將在明年上市的美國公司。

考慮到大多數(shù)公司都會在C輪融資之后，或是總計募集了2億美元資金之后，進行首次公開募股，Pitchbook相應(yīng)縮小了研究范圍。信息技術(shù)和醫(yī)療保健是最熱門的商業(yè)領(lǐng)域，在過去10年由風險資本支持的首次公開募股中，它們分別占據(jù)了28%和39%的比例。

以下是這10家公司的名單：

As so-called unicorns — or private companies that boast valuations in excess of $1 billion — become more and more commonplace, today’s IPO market has slowed significantly. If companies can continue to raise gobs of private equity, the thinking goes, then why withstand the scrutiny and liability of going public?

A handful of bold-faced IPOs have played out recently to mixed results. Alibaba raised $25 billion in the largest stateside offering of all time last September, though Etsy ETSY -3.02% , following a successful April debut, has since plummeted to become the worst performing IPO of 2015.

Nevertheless, more offerings could be on the way, according to Pitchbook. The private equity and venture capital research firm has compiled a list of 10 U.S.-based companies that are likely to go public over the course of the next year.

Given that most companies tend to IPO after a Series C round of funding and after having raised $200 million in total, Pitchbook narrowed its findings accordingly. Additionally, IT and health care tend to be the most popular business sectors, accounting for 28 percent and 39 percent of all VC-backed IPOs over the past 10 years.

Check out the full list of 10 below:

1、Uber

成立時間：2009年

已募集的風投資金：59億美元

估值：428億美元

簡介：也許沒有哪家公司的首次公開募股能比Uber受到更熱切的期待。在所有獲得風投融資的公司中，該公司的估值排名全球第二，僅次于中國的小米公司。這款打車應(yīng)用目前已經(jīng)進入57個國家。Uber還準備在美國再進行一輪20億美元的融資，并計劃向中國投資10億美元，這可能導(dǎo)致該公司估值猛升至500億美元。

1. Uber

Year founded: 2009

VC money raised: $5.9 billion

Valuation: $42.8 billion

About: Perhaps no prospective IPO has been more fervently anticipated than that of Uber. As the second most valuable venture-backed company in the world — second only to Chinese electronics company Xiaomi — the ride-hailing platform currently operates in 57 countries. Uber is also eyeing a $2 billion round stateside and a $1 billion Chinese investment that could catapult its valuation to upwards of $50 billion.
