We asked EO members to look ahead in 2023 and identify trends they see for entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship overall. We asked them to share the skills, mindset or tools that entrepreneurs would be wise to adopt to meet the moment. Video pitching. I see an uptick in pitching via pre-recorded video. Temptation to regress.

Unfortunately, they tend to resonate really well with frustrated entrepreneurs and a lot of dust gets kicked up over them. You know what—it’s supposed to work like that!
