In technology, much like fiction, unicorns are rare, mythical creatures, which most only ever dream of capturing.

In tech start-up land "unicorn" has become the moniker for a company that has achieved the valuation of $US1 billion, and in the United States only about 0.14 per cent of tech start-ups ever reach that status.

Yolanda Redrup is the editor of the AFR Rich List. She previously reported on technology, healthcare and Street Talk.

Paul Smith edits the technology coverage and has been a leading writer on the sector for 20 years. He covers big tech, business use of tech, the fast-growing Australian tech industry and start-ups, telecommunications and national innovation policy.
