I have a very American&#x2F;European centric view on this so I won&#x27;t speak to the Asian market which I&#x27;m sure also has some companies that aren&#x27;t going to survive but I think any company that can&#x27;t become profitable relatively quickly or has a recession proof business is going to be in trouble.<p>Honestly I&#x27;m pretty bearish on just about anything that isn&#x27;t recession proof, but I am interested to see how companies like Airbnb perform which in my mind has a chance to capture even more market share and mind space (if not the most profitable customers) during a downturn. Coliving spaces in general, lite entertainment co&#x27;s that distract people from life, cannabis startups, part time or freelance job platforms, medical tourism and other hacks around market inefficiencies, etc. Basically anything that helps use an underutilized asset in a cost effective way, saves people significant money (or does so very easily), or helps distract them from the bad times are interesting.

My prediction: all the latest YC ones, pretty weak products&#x2F;services
