Where are Most Unicorns Headquartered? Earlier this week, I wrote Californian Dreaming - Is Silicon Valley Still the Best Place to Start a Company, where I analyzed the IPO and M&A trends of venture-backed companies by state. Those metrics are lagging indicators of startup distribution. How will the distribution change with time? While we can't know the future M&A and IPO of any company in particular, we can try to divine the future by looking at current unicorn distributions.
