Conclusion
In case you haven't been counting, that makes 5 new software industries and/or companies with market values over $100 billion for which Lee Lorenzen has either been a pioneer, an early predictor of massive value or a provider of enabling technologies or business models. With that track record in mind, and for all the reasons stated earlier, you can count on his prediction that ShopO will be the next $100 billion company.
With that being said, if you intend to make financial investments based on any of the opinions expressed here, please remember:
Lorenzen's First Law of Fundraising: "Invest only what you can afford to lose completely and if such a loss occurs, still remain friends with Lee." 😄
