Hi Muhammad! If somebody knows exactly which startups would be the next billion companies, please let me know =). I certainly have my theories, which I outlined in this post from January. To reiterate briefly, they are Cloud Native Day 2 (operations that keep modernized apps aand infra running in a production setting), Developer Augmentation (workflows for product development personnel that augment repetitive tasks, provide actionable insights for executives, and facilitate remote collaboration) and ML for the Masses (provide infrastructure platforms for machine learning and unlock its potential for non-data scientists).
