Alibaba – China’s largest e-commerce company – recently made a $215 million investment in Tango, a messaging app, in March. It recently contacted Snapchat, another messaging app that this year turned down a $3 billion acquisition offer from Facebook, about making a big investment that would value the young company at $10 billion.

Airbnb, Dropbox, Uber and the Chinese smartphone and apps maker Xiaomi are the only private, venture-backed start-ups to have reached the $10-billion threshold
