So just how many SaaS, Cloud, B2B/B2D unicorns are there really?
Folks count differently, but I decided to take a slice of CB Insight’s last data — download it here — which shows 903 Unicorns. I took out the B2C, hardware, and non-SaaS healthcare ones, etc. I probably missed a few and included some I shouldn’t have. But I think it’s a directionally correct slice.
So how many of them are like us — SaaS, Cloud software, or fintech that is SaaS-y?
- I count about 337 Unicorns and 15 Decacorns; and
- The “average” unicorns is worth $3.39 billion.
Both, as crazy as it may sound, sound about right.
A lot of the Decacorns and top Unicorns are fintech related, and you might not even call them SaaS/Cloud software:
And there are quite a few just below $10B, from Klaviyo and ServiceTitan at $9.5B and more.
In any event, it’s good to have a sense of just how many unicorns there really are in the SaaS and SaaS-adjacent world.
And likely, there are about 3x as many in the wings.
So prediction: at the end of 2022, we’ll have 1000 SaaS/Cloud Unicorns and 50 Decacorns.
Let’s just back in then.
