There are seven US tech companies founded after 1970 worth over $100 billion, he discovered.

Before we name them, can you guess?

Here are some hints.

Their current market caps are:

  • $443 billion

  • $368 billion

  • $269 billion

  • $247 billion

  • $246 billion

  • $171 billion

  • $144 billion.

Altman gathered up the ages of their founders too:

But, he notes, this is "younger than the average age of NASA engineers when we landed on the moon (28)."

These are the years they were founded (listed in order of market cap)

1976, 1998, 1975, 2004, 1994, 1977, 1984

One more hint:
