which industry do you think is the riskiest to start a business, and which is flourishing?
With AI, it seems to be everything possible:
Everybody is a builder, maker, marketer, founder, (vibe)coder/developer.
We are experiencing the "surplus" of AI products... it is harder to differentiate (our time, resources, and attention are limited).
Is there any industry that you consider to be disadvantageous for business in the current situation, and vice versa, what would be worth getting into?
Maybe I just took it from the wrong end and see things too pessimistically 😀, but I would still like to know your perspective on the situation and maybe see any empty gaps that can be filled.
What I've noticed, for example, is that things related to defense are doing extremely well now, also because of the geopolitical situation in the world.
For example, an Estonian VC firm Darkstar invested in purely military defense tech, especially from Ukrainian startups. The fund recently closed its first €15M round (target: €25M) and backs startups like FarSight Vision (geospatial drone tools) and Deftak (drone ammunition).
