The metaverse won’t affect your small business now, but a lot can change in a decade – and the smartest business owners I know are keeping an eye on it

How big is the metaverse? When you add it all up, billions have already been invested, withsaying it could be a $30tn marketplace within the next 10 to 15 years. By comparison, the entire US economy in 2021 was about $25tn.

If you’re running a small business you’ll soon be ditching Zoom and Teams and meeting with a hologram or avatar of a customer, partner, supplier or employee in a virtual conference room, discussing and reviewing virtual documents and items together. If you’re a realtor, you’ll take walk-throughs of virtual renditions of homes with your customers. If you’re in construction, you’ll do the same with properties under development. Your conferences will be virtual affairs.

I'll stick with having a real place where people can see real wildlife, look at an actual view and enjoy handcrafted things.

That creep looks more and more alien every day!
