Every ‘billion dollar’ business dream needs to answer the ‘billion-dollar’ question, “how to get there?”
Of course, in the AI world, that would not be hard to guess. If your business is hiding in plain sight among the soon-to-be giants, 2025 is going to be your year to invest in technology. What, where and how to go about tech-investments? The billion-dollar question, answered below.
What Are Soonicorns?
The business goldmines, soonicorns are the ‘soon-to-be-unicorns’ of the world. Usually, they are the startups or SMBs that are growing at a lighting pace and have the potential to reach a valuation of $1 Bn SOON!
SOON TO-DO LIST FOR SOONICORNS TO BECOME UNICORNS IN 2025: The Tech-mate
With the new wave of statups stealing the spotlight positioned on the brink of unicorn status, soonicorns are the next big bets for investors, offering high growth potential and market disruption. Soonicorns are spread across diverse sectors—finance, automotive, healthcare and more. As these Soonicorns inch closer to billion-dollar valuations, here’s what can get them there – TECH EDGE.
Do soon tip #1 – Bridge the AI gap no one is talking about
Read any post or article or expert insight on strategic predictions and tech trends for 2025 and AI is sure to be there somewhere on the top of the list. But the catch is, CIOs, CTOs, MDs and all decision-makers of Soonicorns are facing the ‘great AI disconnect.’
We mean, there is a large percentage of CIOs mentioning, discussing and contemplating AI, but only a third testing it in the real-world business. This does not add up. AI is no buzzword for podcasts, speeches or 2025 trends reports.
Leadership of the soonicorns need to wake up and really use AI to enter the Unicorn stage. AI is not just technology or the future, it is every soonicorn’s tech-mate.
Do soon tip #2 – Autonomous Process Optimization (APO): Hands-Free Efficiency
The future is beyond automation; it’s about intelligent, autonomous systems that optimize operations without human intervention. For soonicorns, this means implementing APO to maximize efficiency in everything from supply chain logistics to customer service. Using predictive optimization, these systems can help avoid bottlenecks before they arise and reduce operational costs by preemptively adjusting for demand, allowing startups to deliver consistently even as they scale.
Do soon tip #3 – Immersive Client Experiences: Phygital Integration
By 2025, the customer experience will extend beyond screens. Soonicorns must leverage “phygital” (physical + digital) experiences that bridge the physical and digital worlds, creating immersive customer engagements. This could range from augmented in-store experiences to virtual product demos that create a memorable, tactile connection to the brand. In a world where online and offline are increasingly intertwined, soonicorns needs tech that helps them craft innovative, cohesive phygital experiences will build stronger customer loyalty and brand resonance.
Do soon tip #4 – User-Centric Privacy Solutions: Embracing ‘Privacy by Design’
With global privacy regulations ramping up, generic compliance won’t cut it. In 2025, soonicorns will need to proactively embed privacy into their product architecture from the get-go. “Privacy by Design” is more than a legal checkbox; it’s a user-driven trust factor that will differentiate brands. Building trust at every touchpoint is crucial, from transparent data management to user-friendly privacy control panels. As data rights become more critical, soonicorns that prioritize users’ data autonomy and security will stand out from competitors.
Do soon tip #5 – Eco-Tech Adaptation: Moving Beyond Sustainability Claims
The world is watching how businesses handle their environmental impact, and by 2025, soonicorns must back up their sustainability claims with real, measurable eco-tech initiatives. From carbon footprint tracking to materials innovation, green tech adoption will go beyond mere branding to become a business imperative. Companies that go all-in on eco-responsible tech, such as closed-loop manufacturing and energy-positive facilities, won’t just attract consumers but also investors focused on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria.
Do soon tip #6 – Quantum-Resistant Security Protocols: Preparing for Tomorrow’s Threats Today
With quantum computing on the horizon, data security protocols must step up. Soonicorns in 2025 must adopt quantum-resistant encryption to protect themselves and their customers against future cybersecurity threats. These forward-looking security measures will show investors and customers that they’re committed to the longevity of their platforms and that sensitive data will remain secure, even as the tech landscape shifts dramatically.
Do soon tip #7 – No one platform can take you to being a Unicorn; it’s a set of progressive technology tools
In the race from soonicorn to unicorn, the journey is not just about achieving rapid growth but achieving sustainable growth. That’s where an integrated tech progression roadmap, uniting ERP, CRM, Analytics, and Cloud, comes in. This cohesive blend of technology isn’t just a stack of software; it’s a powerhouse of synergy that provides clarity, control, and adaptability—three essentials for companies aiming for unicorn status. Let’s dive into how unified TECH-MATES pave the way for scalable success.
- ERP + CRM become a single source of truth for customer and operational data—this cohesion is what fuels confident scaling.
- Analytics + AI take the ERP and CRM data to the next level by offering predictive and prescriptive insights that can shape strategy. With advanced analytics, soonicorns can identify emerging trends, fine-tune processes, and anticipate customer needs before they even emerge. Analytics-powered dashboards reveal the full picture: what’s working, what’s stalling, and where untapped opportunities lie.
- Cloud Tech as a base and backbone for centralizing data, applications, and platforms in the cloud giving soonicorns the scalability to expand operations, introduce new products, or enter new markets without pausing for a tech upgrade.
Do soon tip #8 – You need a ‘tech-mate’ to hit the ‘tech-mate’
We’ve understood – the future of tech isn’t a collection of isolated tools but an integrated ecosystem where tech tools amplify one another. And today’s hyper-competitive landscape means that achieving unicorn status isn’t about merely playing any game; it’s about being a master. Companies aspiring to unicorn status need a ‘tech-mate’—a partner capable of aligning technology with growth strategies in a way that accelerates their journey.
Tech-mates bring more than technical capabilities; they deliver a future-ready roadmap with insights, scalability, and adaptability—essentials for growth and resilience. In this strategic partnership, your ‘tech-mate’ becomes both a guide and a powerhouse, helping you navigate complex industry demands, implement seamless data connectivity, and ensure technology evolves with you.
