Through angel.co link, I realise that Sequoia Capital is major investor in them. I can't help but wonder how Sequoia Capital has a share in majority of exists/current "unicorn" companies.
Sequoia invested in Skyscanner after their earlier travel metasearch investment, Kayak, had been acquired by Priceline.
I gather they observed that Skyscanner was positioning themselves to become a leader in the areas where Kayak wasn't, particularly in China, and felt that their investment could help Skyscanner win in those markets.
Once again, it looks like Sequoia's judgement has been spot on.
