Unicorn
Rare valuable startup
A unicorn is a mythical horse-like creature with a single spiraling horn projecting from its forehead.
Medieval legends associated unicorns with purity—only a virgin could approach one.
The word now has prominent figurative uses: a startup valued at over one billion dollars, or in dating and sexual contexts, a bisexual person (usually a woman) willing to join an established couple.
Something described as a unicorn is rare or impossible to find: A affordable three-bedroom in this neighborhood is a unicorn.
