Just saw this post and it painted a bleak picture of the current economy. https://old.reddit.com/r/smallbusiness/comments/17vi8c5/worst_time_for_everyone_this_is_my_worst_november/
So I thought I’d flip the question and see what industries are prospering.
Cybersecurity here. It’s only going to continue to grow. I left a full time job running IT and security at a startup in late 2020 to help a friend of mine get his consulting company off the ground. That year, we did over $2M in sales and I grew the service delivery team from just me to 7, including myself. My friend focused on sales and I did sales engineering and delivery. I stepped away after that year to start my own consulting company. Did $65k in sales in the first year. This year I’ll break $200k in sales, all by myself. I’m working on some stuff for next year that will probably have me doing some hiring, scaling it farther, and generating passive revenue, too. I don’t want to say that it’s recession proof, but I guarantee the cyber criminals aren’t going to close up shop because the economy is rough.
