This is the most exciting time in history to be starting a company online I think:
1) 2020 is a socio-economic reset which means LOTS of opportunity
2) starting a company has never been as cheap and accessible to people worldwide
3) paying for things online is finally normal

To me it feels a bit like we're in 2005 soon and YC is doing their first batch. Lots of new things possible due to 2020's socio-cultural reset
The reason it feels similar to me is that back then the startup world also felt a bit dead and silent after the 2001 inet bubble popped

We're at the end of a socio-cultural economic cycle. But that means soon the start of the next one

But I think opportunity is abound, I can taste it
