Big trends and takeaways from the 2010s: the “capital as a moat” model has failed, machine learning has become table stakes for tech companies, and more
My friend Steve Kane suggested I take a longer view in my pair of year end posts this year: … And so I will.
What stood out most to me: “The losers...were lower middle class and middle class people...whose incomes stagnated or fell” coupled with “bad actors” using new technology to destabilize developed nations. This could (is) lead to global conflict and severe internal unrest. https:/…

A good list of tech trends that defined the decade from the rise of FAAMNG & ML to failure of mega funding rounds as a competitive moat (WeWork). Personally most excited about rise of tech hubs outside the Valley & subscriptions biz models coming of age. https://avc.com/...

Great post by @fredwilson covering the big trends of the past decade: 📈emergence of the 4 tech monopolies 💰(failed) experiment of “capital as a moat” 💻ML coming of age 💵subscriptions as the 2nd viable business model ₿ crypto as a new technology https://avc.com/...
.@fredwilson Looks back on the last decade of tech trends: Tech monopolies; ML & crypto; and more. What sticks out most is his contention that “capital as a moat” has failed. Always a must read & re-read. https://avc.com/...
