Our later stage companies are laying off employees and struggling to raise, but we're turning our eyes to seed. Great opportunities there.

6. What does not kill you makes you stronger...

Mild Conviction doesn't invest in valleys or corridors, just clusters. We have made an exception for a hub in the past though.

We're better than just forwarding Sequoia's deck to our portfolio companies - our MP has published the "Black Goose memo" we've shared with our founders with advice for tough times.
