Unicorn (finance)
Unicorn is a term in the investment industry, and in particular the venture capital industry, which denotes a start-up company whose valuation has exceeded (the somewhat arbitrary) $1 billion dollars.〔Griffith Erin, Primack Dan. (The Age of Unicorns ). ''Fortune''. January 22, 2015.〕 The term has been popularized by Aileen Lee of Cowboy Ventures.〔Lee, Aileen. (Welcome To The Unicorn Club: Learning From Billion-Dollar Startups ). ''TechCrunch''. November 2, 2013.〕
It was hypothesized in March 2015 by Bill Gurley that high investor confidence and rapid increase in the number of unicorns may precede bursting of a speculative bubble. Gurley is an experienced venture capital investor with experience of previous economic downturns that affected Silicon Valley.〔(How To Survive Great Depression 2.0 Without Firing Everyone ) article by Henry Blodget on ''Business Insider'' October 17, 2008, accessed March 16, 2015〕 He is a partner in Benchmark, a San Francisco-based venture capital firm that, as of 2015, had invested in both Uber, a unicorn valued at $41.2 billion, and Snapchat, a unicorn valued at $15 billion. Fortune magazine counted over 80 unicorns as of January 2015. This list is updated quarterly.
A new buzzword, ''decacorn'', is now used for companies valued over $10 billion, which includes companies such as Airbnb, Dropbox, Pinterest, Snapchat, Uber and WhatsApp. In the Canadian venture capital industry, a "narwhal" is a Canadian company worth $1 billion Canadian dollars.
