As a friend of mine said when I was interviewing with her to escape the 100-hour-week death march at the "unicorn" I was at: "You're not a unicorn until someone buys you for $1 billion."

They may be valued at $1B+, but they're not worth that much.

I'm a tech recruiter here in Chicago. I work with a Unicorn that's website looks like its from the early 90's, is primarily using old legacy code, and just hired a contractor that has been unemployed for 9 months who I thought we would never place.

This company alone has convinced me that the term unicorn means very little.
