I would wager a guess that if you actually based success on revenue/employee, operating margins, and overall "healthy" business criteria, the number skews probably even higher.

As we were clearly made aware of in the last year, many unicorns of the last 5-10 years were little more than good marketing a Tier 1 VC footing the bill.

I would bet the same way.

If you weight by market cap, Apple, Microsoft, and Google (Meta to a lesser extent) make it really hard to beat.

And if you’re a VC, weighing by market share makes sense.

...what do either of those have to do with anything?

They all had founders in their 20s (technically, Gates and Zuckerberg were 19).

None of them have anything to do with the kind of companies we're talking about.
