@HarryStebbings This is giving Palpatine vibes

Do you think Series C+ killed the IPO exits?
I believe that the more capital there is, that helps unprofitable companies remain so while getting valued on growth, the less “benefit” there is to go public.
From simple growth oriented to quarterly reporting on marginal bp gains 🥵

[Dave Neumann @Dave10N]

@LindyInvestor And what do you think an LP can do to change that perspective?

[Dave Neumann @Dave10N]

Do GPs trust and listen to LPs’ perspective of VC market and deal trends? If not, what would it take to change this?

[Dave Neumann @Dave10N]

@daveclark85 @VCBrags They tend to, but also because fund sizes tend to be smaller than non-emerging funds, easier to return higher multiples

For those working with AI, are you seeing large corporates wanting to become clients of startups to get ahead of this new tech wave, or are you seeing the contrary? In which corporates are less likely to become customers of startups and waiting to see if startups survive.

@ric0seq @nexhealthHQ @tryVital @ProcuroS Super work! Do you think there will be a boom, or even new categories of APIs emerging, with the likes of ChatGPT powering the calls? Or hard to tell the difference between hype and real atm?
