A recent New York Times article takes a look at how the next generation of billion dollar tech startups will differ from their predecessors.

CB Insights crunched the numbers for the Times and came up with a list of what the venture capital analytics firm thinks could be 50 startups with the potential to reach a $1 billion valuation.
