Estos son los 308 unicornios que hay en el mundo
Un unicornio es una empresa de capital privado cuya valoración ha superado los 1.000 millones de dólares. Este término se refiere sobre todo a startups, empresas tecnológicas que han conseguido aumentar su valor y proyección en muy poco tiempo. En todo el mundo hay actualmente 308 unicornios, según los datos recopilados por la firma de análisis CB Insights.
La consultora ha elaborado una infografía en la que incluye a todas estas startups milmillonarias ordenadas por categorías. CB Insights ha establecido 13 categorías diferentes para encajarlas, con un apartado específico para otras en las que integra a empresas dedicadas a sectores como el Real Estate, edtech, energías renovables, aeroespacial, etc.
La categoría que cuenta con más unicornios en este momento sería la de Software de Internet y Servicios (24%), seguida del ecommerce (13%) y las fintech (10%). Así la compañía con mayor valoración dentro del primer negocio es Infor (vale 10.000 millones de dólares). Con 29.300 millones de dólares, Airbnb se constituiría como la startup más valorada en el segmento del ecommerce. Por su parte, en el mundo fintech Stripe es la que tiene el mayor caché: 20.000 millones de dólares.
La categoría de On-Demand también está bastante bien surtida. Hay 23 unicornios que acumulan un valor total de 203.000 millones de dólares. Aquí se sitúan compañías como Uber (72.000 millones de dólares) o Didi Chuxing (56.000 millones de dólares).
De las 111 empresas que se convirtieron en unicornios el año pasado, la categoría de Software de Internet y Servicios ha sido la que más representantes ha conseguido, con 39 startups de este ámbito que ingresaron el selecto club. En total, estas empresas emergentes representaron una valoración en conjunto de 63.000 millones de dólares.
Los unicornios más valorados
¿Quién lidera el ranking de unicornios? O lo que es lo mismo, ¿qué startup con una valoración superior a 1.000 millones de dólares vale más? El número 1 lo ostenta la china Bytedance (Toutiao), dueña y señora de TikTok. La empresa mandarina está cifrada en 75.000 millones de dólares desde de que la nipona SoftBank hiciera una inversión en ella en noviembre del año pasado.
El top 5 se completa con dos empresas de transporte privado y colaborativo, Uber (72.000 millones de dólares) y Didi Chuxing (56.000 millones de dólares), la startup de coworkings WeWork (47.000 millones de dólares) y el fabricante de cigarrillos electrónicos JUUL Labs (38.000 millones).
En este momento hay 19 empresas privadas (el 6% de los unicornios totales) que son consideradas decacornios, es decir, con una valoración que sobrepasa los 10.000 millones de dólares. Además, hay aproximadamente una cuarta parte de los unicornios que están justo en el límite para serlo, es decir, en 1.000 millones de dólares.
A nivel geográfico, EE.UU y China son las que más representantes tienen en este selecto ranking. Un 49% de los unicornios son de procedencia estadounidense, un 2% más que en agosto de 2018, fecha del anterior análisis de CB Insights. Por su parte, el país asiático, dispone de un 26% de representantes, mientras hace unos meses contaba con el 30%. El tercer y cuarto lugar son para Reino Unido (6%) e India (4%). Tienen 17 y 13 unicornios, respectivamente.
