A colleague asked me recently to share my #opinion on how valuations have changed since 2020/21 to NOW in the #earlystage #venture #investing space. Here's what I shared 👇🏻 TL;DR - best founders / startups / deals, no change, still high multiples. Disclaimers: this is not financial advice, I am by no means an expert nor have the data to back this up, just sharing my gut feel on the stuff I am seeing & learning. Keen for your thoughts please (especially since many of you know much more about this) - agree? disagree? why? 🙏🏻 Quick plug for Cut Through Venture for building & sharing the actual data that underpins our collective #startup ecosystem intelligence on investing & funding. 🙌🏻
