A NEW business expected to expand rapidly and is in need of investment.

I don't care apple still sucks balllls

A startup is not a privately owned business. It is a new business in need of investment.

None of these are started in the last year.

No way a social media company controlled by the CCP in China is worth twice as much as SpaceX.

That was my original post, you can see the red line and the R2 value there.

I made this post in response to this one:

When it no longer relies on investor capital to fuel its operations and is able to fund its self and its growth through its own profits.

I think the looser definition is once you finish rapid scaling up. Like some people controversially considered Tesla a startup for so long even though it was a huge organization that had been around for years and had a huge market cap, because they were still “scaling up” by building lots of factories to be able to rapidly increase production and weren’t technically profitable sense they were reinvesting all their money back into expensive factories.

I don’t think Stripe and Bytedance should be on the list as they’ve more or less finished growing and are self sustaining profitable entities

You wouldn't steal a car.

How did you get all those posters!?

Would love to see this with video games. Maybe together with movies...

How difficult would it be to adjust per capita and global population in meaningful ways? I imagine they'd have to be weighted.

Oh oops, I kinda rushed this post as a response to negative feedback from a log graph that I posted last night. The red line is a line of best fit that goes through all the data that I forgot to delete before posting this one. It's the same line in each graph.

I guess when they don't want money from investors.

Wow, I would know that OpenAI was established in 2020

Epic and SpaceX are start ups? What definition was used?

None of those companies is a startup. A startup is a newly established company, not companies which are 10+ years old.

And they say pirating would kill the industry...

It seems any company can be considered a startup as long as it is privatly owned.

Here's the source OP used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unicorn_startup_companies

One of them really does not deserve the top 10 place.

Yeah, I said it! Fuck you, Bambi!

Shouldn’t you have waited seven more years?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_financial_crisis_(2014%E2%80%932016)

i think that plays a part, it was a huge financial crisis due to oil price crash, price crash for some other commodities that Russia exports, sanctions due to Crimea annexation etc.

What is the meaning of the red line?

A simple bar chart would've been more effective. Communicate the info effectively first and then try to make it arty.

Very confused by the lack of films from the golden era of Hollywood on there. Something must have gone wrong in terms of missing data particularly as we can see many of the highest grossing films of all time are from that era. I can only assume reliable box office data is hard to come by for the regular films of the 30-40s which haven't stood the test of time but certainly grossed over a million in today's money.

The average american was watch more than a film in the cinema a week, and the studio system was pumping out a ridiculous number of films. Gone with the wind alone grossed significantly more than the entire US box office this year.

Edit: looking closely at the database used as a source shows clearly the lack of films from that era. 1930 only has like 6 films for the whole year out of the hundreds that would have been pumped out by the studios at that time. Checking Wikipedia the top ten grossing films from that year all grossed over a million dollars in 1930 money

Fertility rates would make way more sense to compare, the graph currently gives very little actual insight. However still not sure what the point is.

So, never?
