Over the past week, I’ve analyzed the nearly 500 responses from founders who responded to the 2022 Market Conditions Survey. Thank you to all who participated and those who attended last week’s Office Hours to review them. The survey results review the trends in the public market, in founders’ minds, and the private market. Top 10 Insights from the 2022 Startup Sentiment Survey
To summarize, the data highlights that we’re living in a market in flux. Founders feel less optimistic and acting on it by reducing burn, trimming growth expectations, and lengthening runway. Many boards recommend startups operate with a plan that provides the business 24 months’ cash because the last two major recessions that resembled this one (1940s & 1980s) lasted between 12 to 18 months. The private market data, which shows a decline in round volumes, but stable valuations and round sizes, suggests top companies are able to command similar valuations. A word of caution: selection bias misrepresents true market conditions. Companies suffering through hard times won’t raise for a while and their numbers aren’t included in the May figures. Thanks to everyone who participated in the survey and attended the Office Hours. The video of Friday’s session will be up soon. |
