$1B+ Market Map: The world’s 1,229 unicorn companies in one infographic The venture market looks wildly different than it did in 2021, when VC FOMO drove startup valuations — and subsequently, the number of billion-dollar unicorns — through the roof. That year, a new unicorn was born every 16 hours. The days of fairy-tale valuations are long gone. Last year saw just 71 new unicorns minted — one-eighth as many as in 2021. But investors and startups have some reason for optimism. New unicorn births rebounded in Q4’23, jumping quarter-over-quarter from 14 to 23. And generative AI companies are showing they can attain unicorn status at a breakneck pace, as we explore below. Market map Collectively, the world’s unicorns are worth $3.8T — roughly comparable to the GDP of Germany.
