TLDR

Tokyo seed VC MIRAISE names five 2024 software keywords: ERC-4337, AI Agents, third-party cookie deprecation, Headless CMS evolution, and green coding.

MIRAISE, a seed VC focused on engineer-founders, has published its annual technology forecast every year since 2021.
Its 2023 prediction that large AI models would go mainstream and produce unicorns was validated within six months by the explosive growth of ChatGPT and Bard.
The 2024 report predicts AI will shift from assistant to manager via autonomous AI Agents, fundamentally changing the current AI image.
ERC-4337, a new Ethereum standard, is forecast to trigger mass adoption of Web3 for the first time.
Green coding – writing software with lower energy consumption – is named as an emerging ESG obligation for developers.

MIRAISE conducts 200-plus information exchanges annually with engineer-founders globally, giving its predictions direct operator-level signal rather than desk research.
As third-party cookies are fully deprecated, the report warns that new targeting methods are urgently needed, creating an open window for adtech and data startups.
With 53 portfolio companies as of September 2023, MIRAISE’s track record on prior forecasts gives this year’s calls above-average credibility for founders placing early bets.
