They don't follow their own definition then. Maybe they mean every software company? (But then why include hardware companies in the graphic?)
Here are some fun facts I gathered in the last few minutes:
* There are 2,266 companies listed on US Exchanges currently with a market cap above $1bn
* 874 of these companies have IPOed since January 1, 2001.
Unfortunately I could not query when these companies were founded, but is it possible that many of these companies were founded in the last 25 years? I think that's possible. In which case this graphic is probably missing quite a few companies...
