Asking the questions proposed in the article requires long term thinking and it seems to me that long term thinking isn’t rewarded in the current version of the global capitalist market. I’d be interested if anyone can name any ‘unicorns’ that fit these requirements?

The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are SpaceX and Tesla, founded with the missions, respectively, of making humanity a multi-planetary species, and accelerating the global use of sustainable energy technology.

At least those are long-term goals, and larger than making a profit, if not necessarily responsive to all the questions in the article.
