Lets go all the way then - if I spend one dollar on one billionth of a company, it is a unicorn.

OK, someone go launch UaaS - Unicorn as a Service: I'll buy a billionth of any company for a dolla, and you get to claim to be the latest unicorn!

Convincing someone to pay $100 million for 10% of a business is quite a feat. Not for average joes.

Yeah, sorry if my jest wasn't clearly jesting. I'm actually not overly concerned with successful VC-backed companies, I'm just pointing out that the term "unicorn" is fairly contrived.
