There won't be another faang unless truly revolutionary

These companies got too big to lose. (Only talking about tech companies over 1T. For this post, Salesforce, Visa, Mastercard, Paypal are small) Unless something revolutionary happens, I think they will just buy companies and get bigger indefinitely The level of revolution I am talking about is 1. Replacing phones with brain waves(signal) where we are merging bio with tech 2. Invention of intelligence (not just ai) 3. Invention of a new material 4. Invention of a new computer #meta #apple #google #nvidia #amazon #microsoft

Sir this is a Wendy’s

This is exactly why we have the FTC and why Google needs to be split up :)

Google Dveuuw2 OP Oct 4, 2023

I think competitions and innovation still happen without big companies splitting up. It is a separate topic

Amazon cat_in_hat Oct 4, 2023

Of course you’d think that. You have every reason to think that.

tik tok, open ai 👀

Google Dveuuw2 OP Oct 4, 2023

Tiktok maybe not openai. They have no moat to build 1T business

Google zzzv58 Oct 4, 2023

Tik Tok has the advantage of being able to operate in China. OpenAI will be acquired by said trillion dollar companies

Something "new" will likely not look so different and revolutionary at the outset. It'll likely look nonsensical at first glance.. but burrow into popular culture... Like TikTok or Facebook or YouTube... things that seemed like "what's so revolutionary about it?!"

The big companies also hampered startup culture too, its hard to find talent while compensating them at faang tc levels, I strongly think tc got pumped up high to keep ex employees and new ones attached to tc than go out and create companies that could challenge them

One good product like iPhone creates new eco systems So we only need one revolution to disrupt everything

Openai is the next FAANG

Netflix Razorlabs Oct 4, 2023

Nah. They’re the next zenefits.

I think it’s a reasonable point. Uber and Airbnb are probably the biggest challengers and they’re both sub $100B so 1/15th or so of the leaders. Crypto is a nothingburger and everyone realized Stripe is just a merchant acquirer.

You forgot one revolutionary thing that can easily make new faang.. Govt regulation

Amazon TxBm87 Oct 4, 2023

I think most likely some other technology or engineering/science based sector will take off. Like you could see pharma getting hot with the new weight loss drugs and mRNA. Or something related to advances is energy

Google Dveuuw2 OP Oct 4, 2023

The problem with pharma is that it doesnt make enough money. Saas software makes millions per customer annually but what new drug and medicine justify recurring revenues in the range of 100B per year

Amazon TxBm87 Oct 4, 2023

Drugs like Ozempic. You could have 10% of the western population taking it indefinitely and paying super premium prices for years
