Majority of the startups and tech unicorns included in the list are those that have already hit the market, like Pinterest, Uber, Lyft and Slack.

PayPal Mafia is also playing an important role in shaping Silicon Valley’s ecosystem since it parted ways from PayPal. The group of investors and entrepreneurs has given rise to many major tech unicorns like YouTube, SpaceX, Planatir and LinkedIn which invested further in different start-ups.
