<h2>[WHAT]</h2>
<ol>
<li>]&nbsp;<a href="/view/person?id=313" target="_blank">Fred Wilson</a>&nbsp;@ avc.com - predicts the year ahead in the technology industry. Fred is a partner at Union Square Ventures, a NYC based Venture Capital firm. Here is a quick summary list of what those predictions are ...</li>

<h2>[EXAMPLE]</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>]&nbsp;Trump will hit the ground running, cutting corporate and personal taxes,</strong> and eliminating the preferential treatment of carried interest capital gains.&nbsp;</li>
<li><strong>]&nbsp;The IPO market, led by Snapchat, will be white hot.</strong> Look for entrepreneurs and the VCs that back them to have IPO fever in 2017. I expect we will see more tech IPOs in 2017 than we have since 2000.</li>
<li><strong>]&nbsp;The ad:tech market will go the way of search, social, and mobile</strong> as investors and entrepreneurs concede that Google and Facebook have won and everyone else has lost.</li>
<li><strong>]&nbsp;The SAAS sector will continue to consolidate, driven by a trifecta of legacy enterprise software companies (like Oracle), successful SAAS companies (like Workday),</strong> and private equity firms all going in search of additional lines of business and recurring subscription revenue streams.</li>
<li><strong>] AI will be the new mobile.</strong> Investors will ask management what their &ldquo;AI strategy&rdquo; is before investing and will be wary of companies that don&rsquo;t have one.</li>
<li>]&nbsp;Tech investors will start to adopt genomics as an additional &ldquo;information technology&rdquo; investment category, blurring the distinction between life science and tech investors that has existed in the VC sector for the past thirty years.&nbsp;</li>
<li><strong>]&nbsp;Google, Facebook, and to a lesser extent Apple and Amazon will be seen as monopolists by government and individuals in the US</strong> (as they have been for years outside the US).&nbsp;</li>
<li><strong>] Cyberwarfare will be front and center in our lives in the same way that nuclear warfare was during the cold war.&nbsp;</strong></li>
