Orion GrowthEcological Economics
It’s no coincidence the Orion Growth logo is a series of intertwined circles. Back in 2009 when we designed it - the purpose of the company was to break down the vertical silos of commercial real estate and introduce circular, regenerative thinking to a traditional, linear process. We were slightly ahead of the market, but things have taken off lately. It turns out that circular processes and sustainable design mean something now. Circularity is becoming a regulatory requirement for our large...
Orion GrowthSingle-Point of Failure
Failure is inevitable. Failure is a requirement for learning. Embrace failure, because it’s going to happen. In fact, the failure is often systemic and is generally caused by or impacted by a much larger subset of consequences. Most institutions have fostered a culture that sees failure as inherently bad. However, they are essential to growth, and recognizing their value can be key to future success. We learn from the valley, not the peak. Anatomy of a failure: It’s safe to say that all failu...
Orion GrowthIT's complicated
Those who choose to practice technology and innovation see it. Advancements in chipsets and compute power will jettison us to next-level processing. The shift from central, to graphical has moved to neural. It feels fast because it is fast. We’ve never had more ability to ‘do’ than now. This is when we, as humans, give that speed the direction it needs. This is where speed turns into velocity - and we influence the intended outcome. This is a phase change. With most innovation, our new abilit...

Layoffs.fyi is reporting 121,413 tech jobs have been lost by 789 companies this year so far. That’s not including the discussions surrounding Amazon’s impending cuts or any additional fallout from the FTX debacle. But aren’t all jobs technically (partially) tech jobs now?
The numbers behind the numbers show where (by industry) these cuts are being made: Finance (194) Retail (134) Healthcare (111) Transportation (102) Marketing (101) Real Estate (92) - meaning the top 6 industries account 734 of the 789 companies who have reported layoffs. Finance makes up nearly 25% of all those jobs. Follow the money.
Since 1975 - this accounts for the 8th recessionary cycle on record - that is, if that’s what it’s being called. It’s always a measure of economics and semantics. According to the general definition - two consecutive quarters of negative gross domestic product (GDP) - the US entered a recession in the summer of 2022.
If we combine and average these (most recent) recessionary events, they last 10.5 months. Admitting the problem is the first step to recovery. We haven’t admitted we’re in the R-word yet.
For all the CRE folks out there - let’s look at WHERE these layoffs are happening and maybe it’ll help shed some light on market outlook and trends.
435 companies in SF Bay Area (70,674 jobs)
182 companies in NYC (20,345 jobs)
69 companies in Boston (6,807 jobs)
70 companies in LA (5,320 jobs)
WHERE is the SILVER LINING?
We need to be half-full here. With all that tech talent and all the innovation in web3, we can’t help but remain hopeful that entrepreneurship will bloom. Builders and creators can come together to create the future of work just as web2 did coming out of the recession of 2001.
The last 20 years have given us Bluetooth, HDTV, iPod/Pad/Phone, BluRay, Wii, Flash Drives, Android, Facebook, YouTube, Chromebook - and a million other things. Just imagine what can happen as we transition from Read/Write to Read/Write/Own.
There’s never been a better time to be an entrepreneur.
Here’s a cool write-up on the history of entrepreneurship. There are so many relatable developments. Sometimes, you have to look back to see forward.
