Extract the complete CB Insights unicorn company list — the canonical reference of every private company valued at $1 billion or more. Returns company name, valuation, date joined, country, city, industry, and notable investors for all 1,200+ unicorns on the list.

What It Does

"date_joined": "7/22/2019",
"country": "United States",
"city": "San Francisco",
"industry": "Enterprise Tech",
"select_investors": "Khosla Ventures, Thrive Capital, Sequoia Capital",

}
