Every one of those blew up.
So I ask you the same question:
What is hot in Silicon Valley in March, 2015?
- sama 12y agoAdam is super smart. In fact, I asked him for an updated list at dinner a couple of weeks ago and I predict he will be right again. I'm not going to share my list because I've found that people put too much stock in it. I don't mind talking about things like nuclear energy or biotech, because people are either going to start those companies or not. But I don't want to cause founders to start or stop working on specific idea because I say something like "I think enterprise software is great" and they really want to get into YC. I never used to worry about this, but I've since found it happens surprisingly often. The best companies are usually started before any trend is obvious. By the time the trend is obvious, it's too late.
- alexirobbins 12y agoEnterprise software you say? interesting...
- akhilcacharya 12y agoHonestly, I think the old list is still pretty accurate. If anything we might have just additions to that list - in 2-3 years I'm confident wearable will be big, and I think BLE devices have become more popular in the HW Startup space too.
- philippnagel 12y agoSo, your bet is on nuclear energy and biotech? ;)
