Something to keep in mind is that she's presenting the data and trends from the point of VC rather than a startup. So you can reverse engineer it as to what will get on an investors screen for this minute (well at least some investors). But my problem is if you're a startup you tend to think along the lines of solving a problem rather than catching a trend. Another thing is that chasing trends doesn't always produce innovation. For example would Steve Jobs have gone ahead with the iPhone based on a presentation like this from say 2005? We tend to like data because it gives us the illusion of control, and that's a very wall street way of thinking to make investors feel secure.
