Snapchat and Lyft are both $billion unicorns, not startups.
- pluma 11y agoOff topic, but I propose we stop calling "unicorn" startups unicorns and instead call them zebras (based on the phrase "if you hear hooves, think horse, not zebra"). Unicorns are called unicorns based on the presumption that they don't actually exist. "Unicorn" startups exist and there are enough of them that calling them something imaginary is evidently wrong. It would also make them sound less appealing (they're not magical and when it rains you may come to realize it was just a donkey with stripes painted on it all along). Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
