The pandemic is inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs and 2021 could be their big year.

Elizabeth Caven is a startup accelerator.

Accelerators support new startups with money, mentorship and education, sometimes in exchange for a share of equity.

She says the pandemic created an environment where entrepreneurs thrive.

Caven says investors are still funding new startups, despite the pandemic.

And that history suggests those startups will grow into successful giants.

She says she expects similar outcomes in the post-pandemic economy.
