&gt; If you&#x27;re trying to raise $500M, you don&#x27;t have many choices.<p>Every other unicorn in the world suggests otherwise. This is the first large round by either GM or the Saudi prince. The Saudi prince isn&#x27;t even a strategic investor, he&#x27;s just a guy with a deep bank account. VCs and Private Equity Firms have been incredibly active in later stage rounds for Unicorns.<p>Late state rounds almost never have a single investor. That&#x27;s true for Lyft this round. It&#x27;s telling that they couldn&#x27;t find any of the more traditional investors to invest (even for a part of the $250M they weren&#x27;t able to sell).
