Key Trends
LinkedIn has been able to map some really interesting data points based on this list:
Not all about the bay– Although San Francisco takes the top spot- more than a third of the companies listed are based outside of the bay are like New York and Chicago
Women in power- 12% of the companies listed are run by women. Even though that’s only 6 companies it is still double the amount of female of CEOs that appear on the Fortune 500 list.
Older unicorns- Not every company on the list has been valued at $1 billion. This proves that startups don’t need to race for unicorn status to be considered successful.
Tech isn’t the centre of the universe- Over half the companies listed lie outside the tech sector. Education and healthcare are on the up.
So what makes this list interesting to us?
The e-learning industry is well represented by General Assembly, Udacity and Coursera compounding the fact that self-education and upskilling are becoming more and more important to people as the future of work moves more towards AI and automation
Who we’re excited about…
- Glint– A company that’s focussed on employee engagement and people development in the workplace.
- ThoughtSpot– AI driven analytics helping people who aren’t data geniuses gain an overall picture of their company.
- Skuid– Helping Sales organizations get seriously productive when it comes to developing.
