Also, aren't unicorns kinda unlikely by definition?

  Aka over stuffed title.

  The tech industry has terrible, ironic names. A unicorn isn’t unlikely. It’s imaginary. It doesn’t exist.

    The name may apply well. The billion dollar valuations are as imaginary as the profits.

    Precisely the point of Aileen Lee (of Cowboy Ventures) when she coined the term. But like "cloud" it's been gobbled up by people who didn't know what it meant and has been bent into a parody of itself. (not to imply at all that a "unicorn firm" is as profound an idea as not caring how your packets are routed but rather connecting to a resource on the network)
