Vision 2025 - the Startup Forecast

Welcome to the world of startups according to the Grumpy Entrepreneur. This book is a must-read for anyone brave (or foolish) enough to dive into the high-stakes, high-stress world of startup life over the next few years.

Inside, you'll find a guide as reliable as a Magic 8-ball, as insightful as a fortune cookie, and as prescient as a groundhog on February 2nd, all delivered with the signature charm of your favorite grumpy entrepreneur.

The Grumpy Entrepreneur, who has seen more pivots than a ballet dancer and weathered more rounds of funding than a Monopoly banker, will guide you through the chaos that is the startup ecosystem. Expect insights (both profound and profoundly obvious), forecasts (both accurate and wildly speculative), and advice (both useful and, well, less so).

From the terrifying terrain of market volatility to the murky waters of regulatory hurdles, from the buzzword bingo of AI and Machine Learning to the quagmire of fundraising in an economy as stable as a unicycle, this guide has got you covered.

But that's not all! The Grumpy Entrepreneur also provides a peek into the future with predictions for 2024 and 2025, using a blend of experience, cynicism, and a dartboard with various tech trends pinned to it.

So buckle up, put on your thickest skin, and dive into the world of startups with the grumpiest guide you could ask for. It's going to be a bumpy, hilarious, and enlightening ride. Just remember - if at first you don't succeed, there's always bankruptcy.

This book is not responsible for any failed startups, lost investments, or sudden urges to return to a 9-5 job

British based although in my 20s spent far to much time in the US and partying in Monaco.

Worked on many web firsts but during the dotcom boom I got to be a founding part of Commerce One which was a Dotcom darling.

I then went bust, Commerce One went chapter 11 and I was 30. But when you have slept in bus shelters at the age of 18, you take everything in your stride.

Since then have built numerous companies, messed some up and have Pario Ventures which is me and my mates business with over 100 investments.

Why am I called The Grumpy Entrepreneur, we have my wife to thank for that. Her idea back in 2012 and since then I have trademarked it. Anyway enough of me, lets move on.

Feel free to drop me a message.
