A VC: Musings of a VC in NYC

JANUARY 1, 2021

As I wrote yesterday , I think the trends that were accelerated in 2020 will not reverse in 2021, although the slope of the adoption curves will likely flatten a fair bit. We will see it accelerate in 2021.

A quote that is variously attributed to Nils Bohr and Yogi Berra but with an, unsurprisingly, more complicated history , feels perfect when thinking about 2021. In that spirit: wishing everyone a better 2021. Predictions as hard, especially when they are about the future.

Businesses are laying off workers, shutting their doors (some permanently), and struggling to react to the radical destruction that coronavirus (COVID-19) is doing to our society and communities. However, there’s no team better suited to lead that charge than the marketing department.
