Most of the startups on this edition fulfill the needs of enterprises, as opposed to consumer needs. This year\u2019s future unicorn list comes amidst a health disaster and a financial downturn. According to Fast Company\u2019s journalist Mark Sullivan, \u201cthat means this year\u2019s would-be unicorns are survivors, insulated from the current economic trauma by their business models, by the deep-pocketed faith of their investors, or by the industries they play in.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"jb jc jd je jf jg fe ff paragraph-image\">\n<div class=\"jh ji di jj aj jk\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"fe ff ky\">\n<div class=\"jp s di jq\">\n<div class=\"kz js s\">\n<div class=\"de jl t u v jm aj ay jn jo\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"qs rj t u v jm aj c\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/max\/1024\/1*9a4k39B9t9aChhcoHhAr_g.png\" sizes=\"auto, 700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/max\/276\/1*9a4k39B9t9aChhcoHhAr_g.png 276w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/max\/552\/1*9a4k39B9t9aChhcoHhAr_g.png 552w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/max\/640\/1*9a4k39B9t9aChhcoHhAr_g.png 640w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/max\/700\/1*9a4k39B9t9aChhcoHhAr_g.png 700w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"815\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"276c\" class=\"ic id fx ie b if ig ih ii ij ik il im in io ip iq ir is it iu iv iw ix iy iz fq dg\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">The pandemic brought a different perspective on how companies should operate \u2014 making a forced shift from office-based operations to remote working.
