There's no definitive answer to this question, as the definition of a "unicorn company" is somewhat subjective. Generally speaking, a unicorn company is a startup that has achieved a billion-dollar valuation, although there's some debate as to whether a company needs to be valued at exactly $1 billion to be considered a unicorn. Some people say companies need to be valued at $1.5 billion or more to be considered unicorns, while others believe that any startup with a valuation of $1 billion or more can be considered a unicorn.
There are currently more than 380 unicorn companies globally, according to data from CB Insights. The United States is home to the most unicorn companies (156), followed by China (114) and India (19).
