all greenfields
This is best time to build something. there is so much money that people need to allocate they’re literally SPACing companies left and right.
right after Luminar was SPAC’d i knew especially in such a loaded market, we’re going to see more people fill the barrel and fire; which is also why i think in the next few years, more billionaires will be formed than ever before in such a small timeframe
if you’re thinking of dropping out or taking a gap year, this is the time to do it. combined with the fact that most people are meeting people virtually, the time to get to know people more is absurdly more common; im sure i wouldn’t be where i am without meeting people online(but sucks since i live in the bay area and havent utilized it much)
although i’d caution you and say that you should stay in school; at least try to load up on classes so when this is over probably next year, you’re set to graduate in a few months and can get back into your velocity of building.
what should i build?
build a startup with a vision. not an indie project or side project (which ive been guilty of doing for the sake of “experience”). form a group of people and start shipping; and especially now, you can have a far greater vision than ever before: since investors want to fund more moonshots (literally) than 1% incremental startups.
and as always, keep on emailing.
