The Next Tech Unicorn
summary
Panelists argue that unicorns form around an unusual, unwavering vision plus adaptability: teams often change business model four times before success, and early super fans signal scale. Ambition and willingness to pivot matter more than buzzwords; red flags include the hockey‑stick slide and “no competition.” AI is overhyped short‑term but promising long‑term, medtech underhyped, and blockchain is often misapplied. Practical tactics: prove dominance in a focused market (or three countries), avoid endless pilots, do active due diligence—one missed deal later raises a billion after an under‑$10M pass.
