Billion Dollar Unicorns: What Have You Learned?

As part of our continued coverage of the Billion Dollar Unicorns, I’d to like to create a space on this blog to welcome analysis and observations from entrepreneurs who have built Unicorn businesses, as well as investors who have supported these entrepreneurs on their remarkable journeys.

Over the last 10 years of this blog, we have had the founders of over 350 highly valued companies share their entrepreneurial journeys with us. These entrepreneurs have been generous in sharing their lessons from the trenches, helping us further our understanding of the strategies and tactics of building robust businesses.

Over 40 of these have emerged as Unicorns with billion dollar plus valuations.

Overall, we have touched 5000+ companies through our media platform and the 1M/1M accelerator.

To kick off the discussion, I’d like to point you to one theme we’ve heard over and over again: Bootstrap First, Raise Money Later.

In the book, we’ve also explored themes such as fat startups, roll-ups, etc.

Here, we hope to collect more insights and analysis from a broader community of practitioners.

Please weigh in.
