It seems like the economic environment is precarious and you keep getting these cautionary tales of a looming recession.

If a recession does hit which kind of startups would be most impacted

    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

      True @google, it's less likely there's a liquidity crunch than a P/E burst where everyone immediately flees to "value" vs FOMO

      That’s a fair point. But in 2001/2 we had 6% interest rates and companies with absolute no revenue at insane values.

      We’re at .25 now and much more mature companies. Those in ARKK..that’s a different story but look how much it’s down from ATH already.

      We have a 75% beat rate earnings. I think the market is more bullish than ppl give it credit for

      It is unlikely to happen, and in case it does happen, as I said, assets will be lower and I apparently have money from other sources to buy them. Even if there is a nuclear war and people eat each other in North America, I will have somewhere to go since I’m a foreigner and rich in my home country.

      Snap - re web3 adoption, I agree that the slow throughput of proof of work consensus based blockchains has been a major limiting factor that is also driving up gas fees. That said, there are about a dozen or so competing consensus mechanisms ranging from flow to Solana to cardano that are not only attacking this problem head on applying techniques like CPU pipelining to parallelize transactions thereby increasing throughput and reducing fees but also building bridges between the different blockchains with for example Cosmos.

      I see all of this to be very analogous to the growing pains the internet experienced in the 90s where there were 10-15 competing protocols for sending packets but the world eventually figured out standards and interoperability. That is exactly what will happen with Web3 in the next few years.

      On the crypto side I see the meme coins and speculation as being analogous to the 100s of dotcoms that sprung up in 1998-99 but never made it to 2000 and beyond. Meanwhile β€œdotcoms” that had sound business models behind the β€œwebsiteβ€œ like amazon and Netflix did survive and more than thrive. This exact thing will play out with web3 and crypto.

  • Saas startups get hurt the most

    Biotech (and now supply chain) tend to do well during this time. A lot of acquisitions usually happen

    • I agree on the β€œmost” part. But right now there’s so much demand, that we don’t have enough supply to keep up. At recession, it will likely be at par, not extremely down. Who knows…. I might be wrong. Just going with last recessions data.

    • I would say healthcare and not biotech does well during recession. Biotech has a greater track record of failure than any other tech sector, irrespective of the economy.
