I just came across this essay I wrote in 2007 predicting the future of startups. Did I get it right? http://paulgraham.com/webstartups.html … (I thought I was being clever using the name of the conference as the title, but it ended up sounding dated after smartphones were invented.)

Wow, brilliant read. So much of this has come true. Though do you think point 6 of "startup hubs will persist" might finally get disrupted due to COVID and remote work?

Not due to Covid per se, which in a couple years will just be a bad memory. And not too much by remote tech, because the high-res in person conversations are so important early on.

I only wish that college (around the world) had changed in the past 14 years. Stubbornly, it hasn't really

Increased tuition, grade inflation, and feathering of the endowment best doesn’t count?? Hahaha.

Yes! Now software will make manufacturing others things easier (houses, cars, biological cells, novel materials etc) so the trend continues.

Raising $1 million in series A sounds quaint.
