It’s become a Term Sheet tradition to compile your top business predictions for the new year. 

For 2017, readers predicted that there would be “irrational exuberance” in the markets. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency predictions were all the rage for 2018. And 2019 was sure to bring doom and gloom in the form of a recession that never quite happened (but is still on the horizon).

The teens are over. What will 2020 bring?

In answer to the question: “What’s your top business-related prediction for 2020?” 

• Send an email to polina.marinova@fortune.com with the subject line “2020 Business Prediction,” or
• reply to this tweet with a one or two-sentence answer to the above question.

Feel free to give me your thoughts on everything from the broad (M&A trends and policy changes) to the specific (Bitcoin’s price and the future of WeWork). I also welcome the outrageous (but still somewhat plausible). 

I will include highlights of your answers in an upcoming Term Sheet. (Note: These are submissions for inclusion in an article. Unless you indicate otherwise, I will assume that you’re OK with attributing the prediction to your first and last name.)

WEWORK’S SAVIOR? WeWork’s searching for a CEO with a steady hand to stabilize the embattled company. And it looks like that person might be … T-Mobile’s CEO John Legere? Like ex-CEO Adam Neumann, Legere is a colorful character and a rather unconventional leader.

But as my colleague Aaron Pressman notes, it’s not such a crazy idea to have Legere lead WeWork. He writes:

“Some mistake Legere’s outspoken style for lack of management acumen. Legere, who has 6.5 million followers on Twitter, frequently berates his rivals with colorful, and even off-color, quips. And he has a somewhat goofy weekly cooking show on Facebook. But he used price cutting and marketing to revive T-Mobile, while recruiting a team of top-notch executives to help execute his strategy.”

But let’s not forget that Legere has his hands full with the complicated $26-billion merger between T-Mobile and Sprint. Although federal regulators approved the deal in 2018, numerous state attorneys general have filed a lawsuit claiming that such a merger will hurt competition. The trial is set to begin on Dec. 9. 

I agree with Aaron — as someone who is used to putting out fires, maybe Legere wouldn’t be a terrible choice.

MAKING AN EXIT: There’s a new joint report out this morning from PitchBook and All Raise that examines the trends surrounding female-founded companies and female-led VC funds throughout the last decade. 

One portion that’s bound to catch every VC’s eye: the data on exit activity.

The report finds that, in 2018, startups with at least one female founder exited $26 billion, up from $18 billion in 2017 and a decade-high for exit value. What’s more, 2018 represented the fourth consecutive year with at least 200 exits, and 2019 is pacing as the fifth straight year. 

The research shows that companies with at least one female founder have proven to exit more quickly than average, boasting a median of 6.4 years, compared to a median of 7.4 years for all companies. In other words, the data speaks for itself.

NEW FUND ALERT: Earlier this year, I learned that LearnVest founder Alexa von Tobel was planning to raise $200 million for a new early-stage venture capital fund called Inspired Capital Partners. Penny Pritzker would join the new venture as a founding partner. The fund has officially closed, and the duo will invest in seed and Series A stage companies. Read more.
