2020 was the most successful year for unicorn companies, when comparing the exit values of global unicorns between 2006 and July 2021. The value of unicorn exits between January and July 2021 reached 72.35 billion U.S. dollars and are on track to meet or even surpass the 2020 peak of 113.57 billion U.S. dollars. Unicorns are private companies that are valued at over one billion U.S. dollars or over. If that company subsequently goes public or is acquired, it is no longer referred to as a unicorn. When a unicorn company does one of these two things, it is called an exit.
