Summary

We're saying goodbye to 2023 with an Equity tradition: our predictions episode. As we try to do every year, we brought in a number of voices to ensure that we covered a good amount of ground. And, we went back and vetted our predictions from last year as well, in case you wanted to see how off we were! We bucketed our predictions into a few categories, including startup trends, media, proptech, AI, and transport. There are other themes mixed in as well, but find your headphones and get ready for some Hot Takes, yeah?
