Decacorn
定義
A decacorn is a privately held startup valued at 10 billion dollars or more, a tier above the 1 billion dollar unicorn threshold.
資金調達における位置づけ
Decacorns are rare: most venture-backed companies never reach a unicorn valuation, and only a small fraction of unicorns ever cross into decacorn territory.
