decacorn
Hundred-billion-dollar company
A decacorn is a privately held startup company valued at $10 billion or more.
The term follows the pattern of unicorn (a billion-dollar startup), with the Greek prefix deca- indicating ten.
Decacorns are exceptionally rare, representing only a handful of companies worldwide at any given time—typically major tech firms in their late stages before going public.
Stripe became a decacorn years before its anticipated IPO.
