Categorizing the 1400 Unicorns Into Three Categories (including Zombiecorns), 145 IPOs in 2020 to 4 in 2 years
Approximately 30-40% of the 1400 unicorns are zombiecorns that lack product market fit and will disappear. Another 40% are viable companies that were overpriced and will be marked down 50-80%. Less than 10% of the companies have shown robust growth and are nearing their prior prices. The main challenge is the backlog of companies going public as public market buyers are unwilling to pay the high private market prices. Founders are advised to either sell their businesses or become profitable.
