When you decide to go the route of creating your own start-up there are three ultimate outcomes possible, failure, modest success or spectacular success. Of course having spectacular success is rare, but how rare exactly? In the venture capital industry investors usually meet with about 1,000 new companies a year. How many of those do they decide to fund? Just two of them. Let’s say you’re one of those lucky two that did get the funding you needed, does that mean you’re destined for spectacular success? Unfortunately not, only 1 out of every 10,000 start-ups that receive funding end up being valued at $1 billion. Those rare start-ups that are valued at $1 billion are what people in the world of venture capital call unicorns because they are so rare. Your chance at being a unicorn is around one in five million.
