What could be core of the next startup cycle?


The start ups started in and around the last recession have all matured or gone away. As we enter a possible recession what do you think will form the core of the next cycle?

> possible recession

We're entering a depression. It's a completely different beast then most people in first-world countries know or have ever experienced.

I think we'll see a dearth of startups for a while but at some point we'll get some really interesting innovation. The good economic environment in the past decades has actually been quite toxic for serious technology-driven startups; all the talent is off making "Facebook but for Uber."

I'm guessing No/Low-Code platforms and PWA's. AI and robotics will make a real showing at some point but I'm not sure when.

an editor around stable diffusion might evolve into something.

crypto might have a trick or two up it's sleeve yet.

vector databases and similarity search for personal or teams documents, notes etc.

not sure if federated messaging goes anywhere.

Skills marketplace for robots.

AI generated VR worlds to explore.

maybe eventually bots take off
