最近看到一张比较有意思的图表，说的是过去十年间中美欧独角兽企业发展状况的对比情况，众所周知，独角兽企业的出现与一个地区的科技、人才、社会环境质量等总体要素密切相关，见下图：
1、什么叫独角兽企业呢？
独角兽公司，投资界术语，一般指成立不超过10年；估值要超过10亿美元，少部分估值超过100亿美元的未上市企业。其不仅是优质和市场潜力无限的绩优股，而且商业模式很难被复制。
A unicorn is a privately held startup company with a valuation of $1 billion or more. The term surfaced in the last decade when Aileen Lee, the founder of a Palo Alto–based venture capital fund, wrote an article about 2000s tech startups and found that less than 1% of them had reached billion-dollar valuations. She coined the term to capture the elements of alchemy and great timing required for a unicorn to arise.
大意是说：
独角兽是一家估值在10亿美元或以上的私营初创公司。这个词出现在过去十年，当时帕洛阿尔托一家风险投资基金的创始人Aileen Lee写了一篇关于21世纪初科技初创公司的文章，发现其中不到1%的公司估值达到了10亿美元。她创造了这个词来捕捉炼金术的元素和独角兽出现所需的绝佳时机。
2、谁是艾琳●李？
Aileen is the founder of Cowboy Ventures. She partners at the earliest stages with enterprise and consumer-oriented startup teams to build products customers love, and to help teams build aspirational companies. She has over two decades of experience starting at seed stage and staying involved for many years beyond.
She has degrees from MIT, HBS and MHS (Millburn High, in NJ).
大意是说：
艾琳是牛仔风投（Cowboy Ventures）的创始人。她在早期阶段与企业和面向消费者的创业团队合作，打造客户喜爱的产品，并帮助团队建立有抱负的公司。她从种子阶段开始就有二十多年的经验，并在此后的许多年里一直参与其中。她拥有麻省理工学院、哈佛商学院和MHS（新泽西州米尔伯恩高中）的学位。
【艾琳●李由于创造了独角兽一词，享誉世界，看来提出一个新概念是非常重要的事情，更容易获得成功，她也因此被评为时代周刊最有影响力的100人之一】
