CB Insights just made this great infographic to help visualize the rate at which new billion dollar unicorn companies are being created. It seems to be as increasing trend since the start of 2014. There are now 142 total unicorn companies with a total cumulative valuation of $506B. This is up from 30 privately held technology companies worth more than $1B about 18 months ago.
