Collision 2015 - Tim Draper of DFJ Venture, Mood Rowghani of KPCB & Steve Bertoni of Forbes
summary
Claims rapid rise in unicorns—about a unicorn baby boom and maybe 10x more than before—and argues investors must pick true category leaders with durability, gravitational pull, and clear growth signals rather than platform-dependent clones. Calls out fintech (blockchain, e-shares, networked accounting), transport upends (Uber, Tesla, Instacart, DoorDash) and govtech wins: Estonia’s digital signatures saved 2% of GDP and virtual residency as a working proof point. Predicts self‑driving cars inside ~17 years.
