3rd Unicorn 🦄 of 2024

After krutrim, perfios, Porter is the 3rd startup which has turned unicorn 🦄

It has solved some problem for sure unlike krutrim

I remember, when I moved to blr...it was a life saviour.

Such startups deserve to be an unicorn 🦄

Porter is actually amazing. I use them at least once a month and they’re so on point

One of the guys who made Grapevine is ex-Porter 🫡

This is the best way to raise money. Ask friends and family for money at 1B valuation.

Now, when investors ask for down-round, you can say, "I dont want to do disservice to my existing investors."

Funnily enough, 25Cr was sold to Friends and Family which means that an IPO can make them instant millionaires.

Haha @LazyReview I know friends and family round sounds that way. But they were at $700Mn valuation already, and probably have grown from that point. I know it's sus tho 👀

Raised $3 million from friends and family at a valuation of $1 billion.

If not for the funding environment, they could have been a unicorn with a bigger VC funding.

Surprised to know they weren’t a unicorn already. This is how it should be. Not the other way where startup becomes a unicorn and you’re left wondering why 😂

India's 1st Unicorn in 2024

Krutrim has become a unicorn after securing $50m in funding, making it the first Indian AI startup with a valuation of $1bn. It seems like an extremely overvalued company being built yet again. Thoughts?
