We all know intuitively that forward-looking predictions can be wrong, or self serving, but we love them any way. It’s enough to look at the predictions from 2019 (that didn’t see Covid coming…) to understand how big trends can missed due to an unpredictable sequence of events.

Muun found a market need but failed to compete with bigger names that provided customers with authoritative content and resources.

As for so many others though, the news of his death by suicide last year still came as a shock and with a deep sense of sadness. Sadness for the loss of a bright young New Zealander who had so much going for him, for the terrible loss for Jake’s mother and his whanau and friends, and for the loss of an up and coming innovator and entrepreneur to our business comm

If you haven’t invested in brand awareness marketing then the opposite will happen.

In 2002, Elon Musk created Space X. He was swiftly followed by Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic in 2004. With enough resources, products can always be copied.

A question that I still hear debated often is whether a new online platform startup growth strategy should focus on user count or profits. First of all, the glory days of “dot.coms” are gone, when investors “didn’t care” about profitability, and all the big money was focused on user count growth.
