Unicorns Out, Sphinx In!

09-Apr-2021

With the number of Unicorns swelling to over 600 as per cbinsights.com the world needs a new term for companies with valuation of over US$ 20 billion or more and we have come up with it : A Sphinx.

A Sphinx is a mythical creature with the head of a human, body of a lion with the wings of a falcon.  This name would be very appropriate to show prowess of a lion and the ability to fly like a falcon.

Only the truly prestigious companies fit this bill.  These are (figures in $US Billions).

  1. Bytedance $140
  2. Stripe $95
  3. SpaceX $74
  4. Didi Chuxing $62
  5. Instacart $39
  6. UiPath $35
  7. Klarna $31
  8. Databricks $28
  9. Rivian $27.6
  10. Nubank $25

As the market keeps growing we have already thought of a term for companies with valuation of more than US$ 100 billion - these will be called DragonFires.  These will look like white dragons.
