In this clip, our CEO, Nacho De Marco, breaks down what “unicorn” should really stand for. Valuation alone is just one part of the story. He shared this perspective during the panel “How High Can Unicorns Fly?” at the @wef Annual Meeting 2026.

A $1B valuation doesn’t mean what most people think it means. It’s not the goal. It’s not the proof. In a moment where AI is accelerating how companies build—and how fast they scale—the question is worth asking again.

If you're scaling in healthtech, AI/ML, or cloud-heavy environments, let's talk. bairesdev.com/industries/hea…

→ QA automation and reliability engineering → Cloud infrastructure and IaC on AWS (Auth0, CloudWatch, Datadog) → Frontend work in Blazor and JavaScript

If you run engineering in healthcare, you’ve seen this: recurring incidents, infrastructure that won’t scale, and deadlines you can’t miss. That’s exactly what one of our 5-person engineering teams was brought in to solve.

As this model takes hold, coding doesn’t disappear. It becomes a specialized layer, while most teams operate above it in intent and orchestration.

Most developers won’t stop writing code. They’ll stop treating it as the primary medium. In this Fellow’s article, Ayman Shoukry, CTO at @specrightinc, introduces intent-first programming: teams define outcomes and constraints first, and systems generate the implementation.
