Unicorns are so 2021. The hottest status symbol for start-ups right now are “soonicorns,” a term coined by Stanford professor Ilya Strebulaev, as reported by the

<p style="line-height:175%">
A soonicorn is a venture-backed company valued between $500 million and $999 million. It’s set to cross the billion-dollar unicorn threshold, but not quite there yet. Think of it as a minor league star before they hit the bigs.
</p>
<p style="line-height:175%">
</p>
<p style="line-height:175%">
There are now more than 2,000 soonicorns in the U.S. alone, up dramatically from a decade ago. Why the sudden surge? AI has made it easier than ever to launch a company at a sky-high valuation. Some start-ups are hitting soonicorn status on their very first funding round.
</p>
<p style="line-height:175%">
</p>
<p style="line-height:175%">
But “soon” doesn’t guarantee “ever.” Soonicorns won’t necessarily become unicorns. Some will go public at lower valuations, others will stall, and some will fail altogether. It’s all about how quickly they’ll hit their stride.

Key takeaway:
</p>
<ul style="line-height:175%">
<li>
Lorraine Pater left an auditing job at KPMG to stay at home with her two daughters for a decade, then re-entered work on her own terms as a franchisee.
</li>
<li>
She and her husband, Todd, chose Smoothie King because it fit their active lifestyle, they were longtime daily customers and they had seen a neighbor successfully scale to 40 locations.
</li>
<li>
Starting in 2016 with one store, they’ve steadily grown to 10 locations clustered around the same area in Florida.
</li>
</ul>
<p style="line-height:175%">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">
Startup costs:
</span>
In 2016, Lorraine and Todd opened their
<a data-hs-link-id="0" data-hs-link-id-v2="CAMXHsBV" style="color:#2563eb" target="_blank">
first Smoothie King location
</a>
. Todd, who had built and sold companies in the copier and residential trash industries, brought a long track record as an entrepreneur, and he provided the funds to get the business started.
</p>
<p style="line-height:175%">
</p>
<p style="line-height:175%">
That first build-out required a significant investment, though quite reasonable when you compare it to today’s prices. Lorraine estimates that opening a Smoothie King from scratch 10 years ago cost around $250,000, including improvements and equipment. Now, she says, the price tag to open a new store is closer to $450,000 to $500,000 — driven up by construction expenses and higher rents.
</p>
<p style="line-height:175%">
</p>
<p style="line-height:175%">
Still, the model has worked well enough that Lorraine has continued to double down in her local market. Over time, she and Todd
<a data-hs-link-id="0" data-hs-link-id-v2="RWtlz56b" style="color:#2563eb" target="_blank">
opened additional locations
</a>
and acquired existing ones nearby, steadily building density around Lakewood Ranch and the broader Sarasota-Bradenton area. They recently purchased their 10th location and have a letter of intent (LOI) out for an 11th, all clustered close enough that operations and oversight remain manageable.
