The Chennai, India-based Mathrubootham had just moved back home after living some time in Austin, Texas. A television he shipped during his move arrived broken, and he wasn't having any luck getting through to customer service to get reimbursed for his troubles.As these stories go, Mathrubootham knew there had to be a better way to get customers in touch with the companies that serve them. So he co-founded Freshworks - then known as Freshdesk - to do just that."When we started Freshworks in 2010, we were a single product company with a goal of offering better, easier-to-use customer service software than what was in the market," Mathrubootham said in a statement.On Tuesday, Freshworks announced $100 million in funding from Silicon Valley investors Accel and Sequoia, with participation from Google's CapitalG. The company is now valued at $1.5 billion, making it the first enterprise software unicorn to ever come out of India, according to the company.And in June, the company <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/freshworks-reaches-100-million-in-annual-recurring-revenue-unveils-freshworks-360-1027315582">announced</a> another milestone: $100 million in annual recurring revenue, thanks to customers like Honda and Cisco. While India has deep connections to the US tech industry, so far it has yielded very few globally successful startups. One major exception to that is Flipkart, an e-commerce company <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/walmarts-stock-price-flipkart-acquisition-has-one-analyst-questioning-whether-the-company-can-fulfill-a-big-promise-it-just-made-to-shareholders-2018-5-1025004268">which sold to Walmart</a> for $16 billion in May. But Freshworks investors think the 8-year-old startup - which positions itself as a low-cost alternative to customer service, sales and marketing platforms such as Salesforce and ServiceNow - could prove an exception to the rule."Sequoia first backed Freshworks in 2016 and didn't hesitate for a moment to double down on the investment," Sequoia investor Mohit Bhatnagar said in a statement. "Girish and his team have worked relentlessly to build Freshworks into a leading SaaS company from India - one that is truly global with customers across 127 countries." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/cigna-ceo-explains-the-problem-with-healthcare-in-america-2018-7">Cigna's CEO says that the problem with healthcare in America has nothing to do with employers</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

They're so tiny that Lee calls $1 billion startups "unicorns." And you're not getting into the Unicorn Club any time soon.
Previously Lee worked at Kleiner Perkins Caufield &amp; Byers, the venture capital fund - so she knows what she is talking about.
Only 39 companies have reached the $1 billion valuation mark, Lee says, or just 0.07% of tech startups, Lee writes in TechCrunch:
<ul>
<li>We found 39 companies belong to what we call the "Unicorn Club" (by our definition, U.S.-based software companies started since 2003 and valued at over $1 billion by public or private market investors). That's about .07 percent of venture-backed consumer and enterprise software startups.</li>
<li>On average, four unicorns were born per year in the past decade, with Facebook being the breakout "super-unicorn" (worth &gt;$100 billion). In each recent decade, 1-3 super unicorns have been born.</li>
</ul>
She also notes that $1 billion startups tend not to come from 20-somethings like Mark Zuckerberg. They're more likely the product of experienced founders in their mid-30s.

Here Are The Real Odds Of Your Startup Becoming Worth $1 Billion Or More, Like Facebook, Twitter Or Tumblr

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">AP / Leo Correa10 tech unicorns went public or got acquired between April and June 2018.</div></div></div>The startup market has reached a point of maturity, with more and more startups seeing their valuations explode thanks to fruitful initial public offerings and acquisitions, according to Goldman Sachs' Views from the Valley report, published last week.Despite a name that indicated uniqueness, quite a few startups are unicorns - private companies valued at $1 billion or more. In recent months, the number of unicorns has nearly tripled, rising from 54 at the beginning of 2017 to 158 in the second quarter of 2018, according to the report. But as the market gets more mature, the number of new unicorns is decelerating. Between 2014 and 2016, there was an average of 15 to 16 new unicorns each quarter. Now, there is an average of 5 to 6, though Q2 2018 only saw one new unicorn: the gaming communication software company Discord, which was last valued at $1.6 billion. Meanwhile, more and more of these $1 billion+ companies have seen big exits in the last few months, both through IPO and acquisition. In Q2 2018, 10 of these unicorn tech startups had major exits. These were the biggest exits, according to Goldman Sachs: Get the latest Goldman Sachs stock price<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/GS-Quote"> here.</a>

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>There's been a lot of talk about tech "unicorns" recently.Like the fictional animal, unicorn companies - tech startups with billion-dollar valuations - are supposed to be rare and magical. Lately, though, tech's unicorns have become rather common. And now, <a href="http://fortune.com/2015/07/06/peak-unicorn-new-vc-firm-doesnt-mince-words/">Fortune's Dan Primack reports</a>, there's even a venture capital firm dedicated to funding unicorn companies.The China-based <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/6411812?trk=prof-exp-company-name">Unicorn Capital Partners</a> has already raised $12 million to fund tech companies in Asia, Primack says.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/6411812?trk=prof-exp-company-name">According to its LinkedIn page</a>, Unicorn Capital Partners "focuses on investing and partnering with the leading and emerging venture capital fund managers at the start of the Age of the Unicorns."The term "unicorn" was first coined by Cowboy Ventures founder Aileen Lee in a November 2013 <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/02/welcome-to-the-unicorn-club/">TechCrunch post</a>. At the time, Lee identified 39 of these unicorns, which were all US-based software companies founded in 2003 or later, with valuations from public or private market investors of $1 billion or more.Now, about a year and a half later, <a href="http://graphics.wsj.com/billion-dollar-club/">there are 100 unicorns</a>, according to the Wall Street Journal's "Billion-Dollar Club" list.Some Silicon Valley investors have seen the increase in number of tech unicorns, the astronomical rise in startups' valuations, and the amount of funding being raised by Silicon Valley startups as a sign of a looming tech bubble, possibly mirroring the dot-com bubble of the late 90s and early 2000s. Back then, the tech bubble of the late '90s produced a number of flash-in-the-pan internet companies that raised millions - often in public offerings - only to flame out a year or two later.Recently, a handful of investors - including Benchmark's Bill Gurley and Y Combinator's Sam Altman - have voiced their concerns about the current state of venture capital funding. In a tweetstorm in February, Altman warned startups that they need to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/sam-altman-burn-rate-tweetstorm-2015-2">keep their burn rates low</a>. High startup burn rates are one measure investors have used to determine whether or not tech-bubble talk is real. At a SXSW keynote this year, Gurley warned that "<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/bill-gurley-sxsw-talk-on-dead-unicorns-2015-3">a complete absence of fear</a>" in Silicon Valley had led venture-capital firms to take big risks on tech companies. Those companies could face a turn in the market in the near future. "I do think you'll see some dead unicorns this year," he said. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/mark-cuban-pitches-shark-tank-small-business-2015-6">This is what 'Shark Tank' investor Mark Cuban looks for in the perfect pitch</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="N4bm5ndTouTuBRcrhCmkPSA31ZBO0mZE" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

Have you ever seen a picture of a farting unicorn? Have you ever seen a picture of a farting unicorn, drawn by Elon Musk? Behold:<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>On Wednesday night, the Tesla and SpaceX cofounder took to Twitter to share an unusual image: A flatulent mythical beast, surrounded by smiley faces, a rainbow, and a car appearing to vacuum up the unicorn's gaseous emissions.It wasn't just a stroke of inspiration that Musk felt compelled to share with the world.Instead, the famous entrepreneur used the image to show off a new hidden feature in Tesla's cars: Sketch pad.The feature is exactly what the name suggests - a sketchpad app that lives on the electric cars' touchscreens. It comes with the latest software update, V8.1, and it's accessed by pressing the "T" three times, Musk said.Musk didn't come up with the farting unicorn himself, however. It's borrowed from a mug he owns and shared photos of in February. (<a href="http://www.goestores.com/storename/thomassedwards/dept/267479/ItemDetail-10685131.aspx">It sells online for $28</a>.)It is, he says, "maybe my favorite mug ever."The rear of the mug reads: "Electric cars are good for the environment because electricity comes from magic!"
