The 10 startups in the US whose valuations are set to increase the most, according to over 500 founders

• Startup founders were asked in a recent survey which private company they predict will increase its valuation the most over the next decade.
• Of the 529 founders, 19% of them - around 100 - agreed on one company.
• These are the 10 most popular predictions from founders.

A lot can happen in the tech industry in a decade, but a recent survey of more than 500 startup founders shows that many are in agreement about which companies have a bright future ahead.

The State of Startups survey, published annually by venture capital firm First Round, asked founders about their thoughts on the current state of tech, views on investment and funding, and outlooks for the tech industry in the future.

Of the 529 tech startup founders polled, 19% had the same answer when asked which private company would increase its valuation the most in the next 10 years. That's an estimated 100 founders in agreement that venture capital funding is likely to pour into at least one particular startup and boost its valuation considerably.

And where VC money flows, IPO plans often follow, so it's no surprise that many of the companies that founders predict will increase in valuation are reportedly gearing up to go public in 2019.

Here are the 10 private companies in the US that founders predict will increase their valuation the most in the next decade, ranked by the percentage of the vote they received:
