# The 30 largest multinational companies in San Francisco

Tamtam tracks 446 multinational companies headquartered in San Francisco. This list ranks the 30 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Wells Fargo, Upwork and Uber. Their median headcount is 15,378. Half of them were founded in 2010 or later.

The companies listed in San Francisco are predominantly large, established firms in financial services, software development, and retail. Wells Fargo operates in diversified financial services, Upwork is a global marketplace connecting businesses with talent, Uber powers flexible earnings and movement of people and things, and Salesforce provides customer relationship management solutions. Many of these companies have a global reach and offer services through digital platforms.

A notable pattern is the strong presence of software development companies, with firms like Salesforce, DoorDash, and Airbnb contributing to this cluster. While established companies like Wells Fargo and Gap Inc. are present, there is also a significant representation of technology-focused companies founded in the 21st century, such as Upwork (2015) and Airbnb (2007).

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 11, 2026.
