Unicorn founders typically neither attended business school nor held positions at firms like McKinsey.

Instead, they were globally-minded individuals with a less traditional career focus, often gaining experience in startups before launching their own companies.

On average, these founders amassed around ten years of professional experience prior to founding their unicorns, primarily in product and engineering roles.

Additionally, they almost always have international backgrounds, having lived, worked, or studied abroad.
