The trends in technology often take longer to materialize than anticipated, indicating that we are just beginning to see the potential of the current wave of innovation.

Many people jump on trends too early; for example, VR has potential, but it's not yet a high conviction bet for starting a company.

Founders sometimes believe that just because a trend is popular, their startup will succeed in that space. They fail to recognize that entering a market at its peak can be detrimental, as they are competing against established players who have already gained significant advantages.

You won't get the opportunity to capitalize on new technology if you're just thinking about it; you have to take action and engage with the current trends.

The initial success of a new product often relies on early adopters who are willing to take risks, which can lead to broader acceptance if the product performs well.

Don't be discouraged by skeptics who claim AI is overhyped; historical trends show that early adoption can lead to success.

Investors often respond to ideas that are popular or trending, which can mislead founders into thinking they should follow the crowd rather than pursue their own insights.

Historically, significant technological shifts, like the rise of the internet and smartphones, have provided early adopters with substantial advantages.

The more people engage with advanced technologies, the more they will find it unbelievably cool and want to participate in those experiences.
