Websummit published a list of most sought after start ups for introductory meetings with venture capitalists during the recent Websummit event. A lot of AI, websites ending with .IO and very limited concepts that someone from outside the digital industry would understand. No Adtech and very limited social media. It gives good insight in where venture capitalists believe future developments are going and what kind of companies can be disruptive.
