New startup unicorns that emerged in 2015
- sarciszewski 11y agoHN-bait title? Check. CSS doesn't load unless I whitelist some dubious domains in RequestPolicy? Check. "Read Next" CSS popup? Check.
- sethd 11y agoAn Amazon CloudFront domain is dubious? Sure, they could have configured their DNS to use their own domain on CloudFront instead of the random CNAME they were assigned but I fail to see how that would change the dubiousness of it.
- sarciszewski 11y ago> An Amazon CloudFront domain is dubious? Yes.
- NelsonMinar 11y agoSo interesting. Every time I read about startups in Asia, I wish I knew more about the tech scene there. There's a lot of innovation that as an American I'm largely ignorant of. The techinasia.com blog is a good way to learn a little bit.
- dustingetz 11y agoAmerican unicorns are available internationally, why haven't I heard of these?
- pcl 11y agoA few of these companies are clearing the $1B valuation with surprisingly favorable disclosed valuations. For example, China Rapid Funding: $56M funding in three rounds for a $1B valuation Fanli: $20M funding in 3 rounds for a $1B valuation DJI: $75M in 3 rounds for a $10B valuation. Weirdly, their series C was evidently $75M also, meaning that their A and B rounds were not disclosed or very small. I wonder what's up with that. Are some of these spin-outs maybe? CrunchBase has slightly different numbers for some of them. They've got DJI at $105M in funding in 2 rounds [1] ($75M from Accel and $30M fro Sequoia). And their series C record for Fanli is "undisclosed amount" [2].
