A ‘unicorn’ startup is a company that achieves a valuation of over $1 billion. The term was coined in 2013 by venture capitalist Aileen Lee, who used it to describe start-ups with a billion dollar valuation. Unicorns are rare and their value is hard to quantify. They can disrupt industries and create new ones as they grow in size and power. The term ‘unicorn‘ comes from the idea that these companies are one of a kind, like the mythical creatures.
