Session: What the recent downturn in global venture capital deal volume and valuations means for founders

After a red-hot 2021, global venture capital deal volume and valuations have taken a downward spiral in 2022. What does the correction mean for founders?
- Lowered valuations (2-7x multiple, industry dependent)
- Higher revenue expectations (VCs are looking for more MRR)
- Metrics have halved ($2M raise, $12M valuation)


Key Takeaways

  • What the recent downturn in global venture capital deal volume and valuations means for founders
  • How minority and women-led startups can gain investor attention
