SmileDirectClub, a private startup valued at over $1 billion, has an uncertain future as investors critique it as a "unicorn" startup, which includes companies with little governance and big losses, according to Axios.
After analyzing numerous mature startups, investors attribute startup failure to a higher demand than supply.
Driven by an unprecedented amount of large, later-stage venture capitalists, unicorn funding is expected to thin out, potentially resulting in a wave of rescue rounds and plummeting share prices.
Investors believe, however, that startups with reasonable plans for profitability will be fine.
