Most? I can list tens of them easily. For example what advancements were required for Slack to be successful? Or Spotify (they got more successful due to smartphones and cheaper bandwidth but the business was solid before that)? Or Shopify?

Slack bet on ubiquitous, continuous internet access. Spotify bet on bandwidth costs falling to effectively zero. Shopify bet on D2C rising because improved search engines, increased internet shopping (itself a result of several tech trends plus demographic changes).

For a counterexample I think I’d look to non-tech companies. OrangeTheory maybe?
