The outcome is true if by the end of 2030 a public company achieves the market cap of 1 billion dollars while having only one funder and employee. Or a one-person private company raises enough money that places it at a valuation above 1B, reported in a reputable news source.

For the purpose of this market and to ensure that the company is not just a scam,with "enough money" we mean over 10$ million.

Market cap is a measure used for publicly traded companies normally. Assuming you mean pre- or post-money valuation for a fundraising round for private companies? Those are very easy to game, might make sense to specify some more criteria?

@Thomas42 correct. Any suggestion how to make it more specific?

@Thomas42 regarding gaming post-money valuations, such a company has already existed! https://youtu.be/iHfJRON3b-w?si=ul5UiLAMDlKGO-u1

@SimoneRomeo I would say publicly announced raising at least X million at a valuation above 1B, reported in a reputable news source, or something like that.

@Thomas42 😂😅😅oh my god! That video!

@Thomas42 I update the description. Check if it makes sense

@SimoneRomeo imo "enough money" is still ambiguous, since you can raise $1 at a $1B valuation. I would decide on some amount, e.g. $1M or $10M.

@Thomas42 got it. Should be alright now. I was not familiar with how valuations work. It was cool to understand more about it
