Unicorn means the startup is as rare as a unicorn. Taking that as your benchmark for success is extremely unhealthy.

I think the generally accepted definition (as I understand it) is any startup with a private valuation over $1bn. So there is a lot of room for very successful companies that are not unicorns.

I think there's been a bit of an inflation when talking about unicorns. It just means any startup that is valued at >= $1bn
