Graphcore. Semiconductor company doing accelerators for machine learning, based in Bristol. Raised $200m at a $1.7bn valuation in 2018.
EDIT2: There's also XMOS in Bristol, which has taken about $100m in funding over the years, but have no idea what their valuation is like. Also (fabless) semiconductor company that seems to have sort-of pivoted towards AI acceleration similar to Graphcore.
> edit: I'll also take websites, has the UK got any big website companies? Seems like our biggest are Rightmove and Autotrader
Hopin (virtual events; raised about $1bn)
Cazoo (online car sales; about 2k employees)
Deliveroo (food delivery; market cap of about 1.6bn)
Snyk is now apparently Boston based, but was founded in London (cybersecurity); this is a common issue for the European startup space, but perhaps especially so for the UK since startups here tends to target English-speaking markets from the start, in that the incentive to move the companies to the US are pretty significant.
Revolut, sort of. Bank license in Lithuania, founders are Russian and Ukrainian, but headquartered in London.
EDIT:
Babylon Health. "Online first" healthcare provider offering both NHS and private GP services via app/video as the first instance (with offline facilities to complement with face to face examinations when needed). About 2k employees; took about $550m funding at a $2bn valuation in 2019
