In the context of technology investments, "dragon" startups represent a new class of high-value companies surpassing traditional "unicorn" startups. While unicorns are private companies with valuations of $1 billion or more, dragons are businesses that achieve valuations exceeding $12 billion, and their growth typically generates returns that can pay back the entire venture fund invested in them. This makes dragons highly desirable to venture capitalists due to their ability to offer substantial, transformative financial outcomes.
Examples of dragon startups include companies like, Databricks, and, which have reached significant valuations while maintaining strong growth trajectories. These companies tend to attract investors not only due to their size but also for their potential to disrupt markets and offer outsized returns compared to traditional unicorns.
This shift from focusing on unicorns to dragons reflects the changing dynamics of venture capital, as the market now favors businesses that can demonstrate sustainable, long-term impact alongside rapid expansion.
In a world where innovation drives the future, there exist two powerful forces shaping the destiny of startups—Dragons and Angels.
