We expect the predictions we feature for 2021 to accelerate at an even more rapid pace than in the past, driven by the societal shifts and impact of public health risks emanating from the COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our methodology in selecting the coming year\u2019s predictions is shaped directly by our experience in working with the world\u2019s leading entrepreneurs and cutting-edge technologies, analysis of global investment data, and unique market insight gathered across GP Bullhound\u2019s global network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report maps out some of the companies to watch and selected key actors for each identified trend, and features expert views from Ruslan Fazlyev, CEO of Ecwid; Lindsay Cook, CEO &amp; Co-founder of Fiton; and Lindsay Willott, CEO of Customer Thermometer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enquiries<\/strong><br>For enquiries, please contact:<br>Per Roman, Managing Partner, at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:per@gpbullhound.com\" target=\"_blank\">per@gpbullhound.com<\/a> <br>Alec Dafferner, Partner, at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:alec.dafferner@gpbullhound.com\" target=\"_blank\">alec.dafferner@gpbullhound.com<\/a> <br>Brandon Overmyer, Vice President, at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:brandon.overmyer@gpbullhound.com\" target=\"_blank\">brandon.overmyer@gpbullhound.com<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About GP Bullhound<\/strong><br>GP Bullhound is a leading technology advisory and investment firm, providing transaction advice and capital to the world\u2019s best entrepreneurs and founders.
