Unicorns
Who will be the next Google, or Tesla, or Alibaba – and could they be a champion for sustainability? Spotting baby unicorns is rare – some might even say impossible. But CB Insights has an algorithm that has scored a few hits in the past. Its 2015 Future Unicorns list included Postmates Inc., Dollar Shave Club and HelloFresh, which all went on to become billion-dollar companies. Their new top 50 list is dominated by tech start-ups, which is not unexpected. I like the look of the digital health contenders like Doctor On Demand, Lyra Health and Capsule. Others too, somewhere over the rainbow.
