Millisecond markets

What happens when the time from spotting a need to shipping a service is measured in milliseconds, not months? That sounds like sci-fi, but the trend line points there. Every year it gets easier to sense demand, assemble tools, and deliver something useful with almost no overhead. AI agents, serverless backends, drop-in payments, and platform distribution pull the friction out of the system. The result is a new shape of opportunity: micro-sized, real-time, and constantly in motion.
