Israeli precision-guided munition likely killed group of children playing foosball in Gaza, weapons experts say
Saas startups get hurt the most Biotech (and now supply chain) tend to do well during this time. A lot of acquisitions usually happen
What are your thoughts on health tech? I think key is finding a place with a sustainable business model and real cash flow, not something living off of venture financing
What about freight logistics like Convoy
The ones that didn’t raise a lot of money and have high burn
Lol isn’t a high burn rate and low cash a recipe for disaster in any environment?
It's also the recipe for success. High risk high reward. You only see the success stories.
Better.com would be one
Amen
So excited for them to go out of business! 🙏🏻
Web3 startups
Why web3?
This ^ Add in all the companies that are in NFT space
I think we’ll be fine 😃
Sorry to break it to you, but Stripe is no longer a startup
😱
If they have a runway shorter than 18 months, they are toast
You mean companies that are 18 months or less from IPO are toast? Damn…just joined one…guess I am screwed because…well, I’m not sure exactly…anyway, nice knowing you guys!
runway= cash at hand / cash burn rate. add some safety margin for good measure
Condition of Unicorn Startups in India. 📉 ☠ Have a look at this once: https://us.teamblind.com/s/YYH61KiJ
All those are Indian. You can learn a thing or two from Unacademy though. They title sponsored IPL (biggest cricket tournament), that is the best money burning I ever saw
BTW why did Blind promote this post with 4 Likes and 8 comments?
Op paid blind 😂
Infrastructure startups like - AV, lidars stuff for sure
maybe the smaller ones, but the big ones, particularly those under parent companies are gonna be on a rocket ship.
Right! Definitely not cruise, zoox, Nuro or waymo
Uh, most of them? There will most likely be a liquidity squeeze and risk aversion in general. Recessions are the time where being at more mature firms is definitely a benefit even though you don't get the massive boost with the tech to RSUs
I have a feeling that pre-IPO startups will suffer the most, it’s gonna be hard for them to get to any kind of exit or liquidity and won’t be able to raise the next round, a la FAST co. I wonder if seed stage will be okay, especially ones that recently raised a big round to weather turmoil for a few years. They may not be able to raise their A or at terms they like, and only the best will be able to at all, but they have less VC pressure to exit as well, and much less overhead
^ This, except the seed stage should have revenues already
