Tomorrow's tech landscape
summary
Argues valuations are exuberant but unlike 1999 or 2008 — public markets fairly priced while abundant growth capital pushes higher valuations at later stages; seed rounds become stepping stones as crowdfunding and platforms (AngelList, YC, Kickstarter) democratize access. Predicts tech gets smaller and more personal (wearables, sensors inside pills), Silicon Valley stays dominant yet global hubs rise, email endures while messaging fragments, diversity barely improves (~4% women in VC), and startups win by nailing one thing: team, product, and customer acquisition.
