Predictions from the past 4 years that @ShaanVP and I have made. Hits: - GLP-1 will treat addiction (2022, Sam): Called two years before landmark studies confirmed 40-50% reduction in alcohol and opioid dependence — before Ozempic was even a cultural phenomenon. - Generative AI defines the next decade (2022, Shaan): Called six weeks before ChatGPT launched and became the fastest-growing product in history. - AI music generation becomes a major category (2022, Shaan): Called over a year before Suno launched publicly — Suno hit $300M ARR by 2026. Short drama apps will explode (2025, Shaan): Q1 2025 alone generated $700M in revenue — scale dwarfed even the original prediction. DTC men's health hits $100M+ (2020, Sam): Hone Health hit $113M ARR and Dadi was acquired by Ro for ~$100M exactly as predicted. Misses: Consumer peptides will normalize via regulatory gray zone (2026, Sam): The FDA immediately cracked down, placing BPC-157 on a "do not compound" list — the gray zone closed within months. OpenAI gets significantly regulated in 2023 (2022, Sam): No federal regulation materialized whatsoever — Sam called it a miss himself. Clubhouse will fail (2021, Shaan): ✓ Right — included this as a "miss" slot swap — actually Shaan nailed this one cold while VCs publicly called him wrong.
