FYI: (The term, unicorn, has different meanings in the business world: In the venture capital industry, a unicorn refers to any tech startup company that reaches a $1 billion dollar market value as determined by private or public investment. The term was originally coined by Aileen Lee, founder of Cowboy Ventures.)
According to TechCrunch, 151 private companies around the world passed the $1 billion valuation mark in 2018. Collectively, they managed to raise a whopping $135 billion.
