In 2000, Palm was worth more than Apple, Amazon, and Nvidia combined. Today, it’s a forgotten name. What happened - and why it matters more than ever.The Wild Numbers from Y2K

At the turn of the millennium, these were the market capitalizations:

Palm: $53 billionApple: $15 billionAmazon: $17 billionNvidia: $1 billion

💥 Total of the “Big Three” = $33 billion - still less than Palm alone.

So… What Happened to Palm?

Despite early dominance in the mobile space, Palm failed to adapt. Leadership missteps, lack of innovation, and market shifts slowly erased its edge.

Meanwhile, Apple reinvented itself. Amazon expanded into everything. Nvidia bet on the future of computing. All three became foundational tech giants.

What Can We Learn from This?

🧠 Q: Can you predict which companies will thrive and which will vanish?
🧠 A: No. There are no guaranteed formulas. What seems like an empire today can vanish tomorrow. And what looks like an underdog might conquer the world.

The Deeper Lesson

📌 Q: So what should founders, leaders, or creators do in such an uncertain world?
📌 A: Stay in motion. Learn every single day. Reinvent yourself. The advantage you had yesterday won’t save you tomorrow.

If you stop evolving, the market will move on without you.
