And by growth I mean revenue growth. Flat to negative revenue growth is a real red flag, especially for early stage companies. If you’re venture funded, things get kind of ugly -unhappy board members, cut off from communications, down- rounds to keep you going, or no more funding. And protection form death.

For the past few week I’ve been sharing here the impact of the current downturn that started in the public markets on startups and venture capital. It’s becoming evident that there’s a slow down in VC investments in Q2 deal activity, but it’s not as drastic as in the early days of the pandemic.
