One, two, six... how many unicorns will emerge in 2024? | ||
"2021 was a golden year, very pro-startup, easy to raise funds, with many companies becoming unicorns. It will take a long time to return to the US$11 billion invested in that year, certainly not before 2025." | ||
This is what João Ventura, CEO of Startup Copilot and Sling Hub, states about the startup market. | ||
In an article for Estadão, Ventura believes that this year only one startup will become a unicorn. According to market analysis, there are six startups that could achieve this title in 2024: Asaas, idwall, Parfin, QI Tech, Agrotools, and eureciclo. | ||
