Are You Ready For Bacchanalia 2021? Plus: What A Democrat Stock Market Will Look Like

Plus: The Women Investors That Crushed It In 2020

Though it might not look like 2021 is off to a good start right now, I'm hopeful that these are just growing pains as we move on from a year that will go down in infamy. Indeed there was good news yesterday: the run-off election in Georgia set up one of the youngest United States Senators in history to take office later this month. Former documentarian 33-year-old Jon Ossoff unseated his 71-year-old adversary, Senator David Perdue. The young entrepreneur, who previously served as the CEO of a media production company, will bring a fresh perspective to the legislative branch.

And while we are on the subject of moving on from perhaps the worst year ever, I'd like to take a moment to look back at 2020. For our inaugural Forbes Under 30 Awards, we tapped two of the hottest young VCs to help us identify the very best companies, innovators and trends for young entrepreneurs. Plus, we even share a peek into the future (hint: get ready for bacchanalia 2021).
