the only bubble I see is in social media (instagram and zynga, mentioned a lot already in this thread). it's funny that business models which from my point of view are far more sustainable and also much more beneficial for society get considerably lower valuations (or at least media attention). i mean startups like asana, heroku, fogbugz or duolingo - whose main use case goes beyond sharing/playing with friends.
- numeromancer 15y agoWith the exception of duolingo, these are all companies which make products for other businesses, so we should ask: What do their clients make? If their clients get popped in this (hypothetical) bubble, won't they?
