Even most of the unicorns are boring.

They're overwhelmingly in "fintech", "big data", and productivity software.

These are some bizarre categorizations! By whose POV are they sliced and sorted?

eg. Uber and Lyft are "On-Demand" not the more natural, "Transportation"; Spotify and Evernote are "Internet Software and Services", not "Media" and "Productivity" respectively; another is denoted "Greentech" not "Energy".

I suppose $1B can call anything anything.
