Hello and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups where we unveil the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.
This is our Wednesday show where we focus on a single topic and unpack the rest. Today we asked: How is the economic downturn and slowdown in startups affecting VCs and the people who fund venture capital funds?
Unlike our usual midweek episodes, Natasha wasn’t at the helm. Instead, Alex stepped in, bringing in TechCrunch+ venture capital reporter Rebecca Szkutak to co-host. Rebecca is an ace when it comes to the mechanics of venture capital, making her the perfect voice for the day.
To start, Alex and Rebecca talked about the state of startups in today’s market – and if things are as bad as some make them out to be. From there, the equity crew spoke about how venture capital reacts to changing market conditions. And the conversation was wrapped in notes about what LPs do, whether or not they should be.
While we’re mostly focused on startups and founders in the pod, it’s also good to step back and talk about the money behind the money every now and then. We did that today. Enjoy!
