Happy National Unicorn Day to our incredible community of innovators, entrepreneurs, and visionaries! 🦄 Today isn't just about the mythical creatures we've adored since childhood; it's also a celebration of the extraordinary tech unicorns that have transformed the impossible into the possible. The term "unicorn" in the tech world was coined by Aileen Lee, Cowboy Ventures in 2013, signifying startups valued at over $1 billion. Much like their mythical counterparts, these companies are rare and remarkable, showcasing exceptional growth, innovation, and resilience. If you didn’t already know, Drata is one of them! 🦄 As we celebrate National Unicorn Day, let's take a moment to appreciate the dreamers who dare to venture into the unknown. May your vision and tenacity continue to inspire and shape the future of technology. 🚀
