A few days ago, I exchanged emails with a journalist friend. She said the following, "I'm just wondering which sectors/investment areas/types of start-ups you think will be exciting investments in 2010, and which you're staying away from because they're over-hyped, not yet ready, etc." Today I sent a friend in the VC business an email outlining some areas I wanted to focus on this year so we could find some things to work on together. In thinking about those two events, I decided I should just post the answers right here. So here goes: via avc.com Fred Wilson talking about what areas he'll be focusing on in 2010. He's listed mobile as number one - I can remember every year at least back to 2000, people have been saying mobile is going to get big, just about to crack it. Maybe 10 years later we're actually at that point though I remain sceptical. It'll be bigger than we've ever seen now that android and iPhone are in full swing but it won't be as big as some suggest.
