How startups will meet the crises of the moment…
“2024 will be driven by two conditions. The first is a challenging macroeconomic environment, and the second is excitement around AI. We expect to see an uptick in applications from startups that lower costs for consumers, and help solve societal challenges exacerbated by recessionlike conditions. Healthcare—and in particular, innovation geared toward Medicaid enrollees—will be a major focus. At the same time, we’re anticipating a whole new world of companies powered by artificial intelligence, particularly in industries like space and defense.”
