how can i invest in a unicorn 
unicorns are startup companies so unless you are a private investor or venture capitalist they don t really accept a lot of moderately sized investments however interested investors should track the growth of these unicorns if they ever decide to become public companies the bottom lineunicorns are startups whose valuations exceed 1 billion companies that reach unicorn status are usually financed by venture capitalists as major innovators and many end up going public through an ipo the company s high valuation doesn t derive from financial performance but is based on investor sentiment about the company s growth prospects since unicorns aren t publicly traded companies retail investors must wait until their shares are made available to the pubic through an ipo to invest in them
