- samwillis 5y agoTrue and really it’s not a Unicorn as it’s been public before. You inspired me to have a look at how many “Unicorns” are in the US for comparison. Depending on source it’s between about 400-480 in the US. So about 12x as many with about 4.8x the population.
- heavenlyblue 5y agoOr about 12x as many with 11x GDP.
- modernpink 5y agoA lot of these seem to be consumer retail, e-commerce or housing related which says a lot about the UK economic landscape. Hardly the kind of company ARM would want to be swimming amongst.
