There is a wave of pandemic-era startups stuck in limbo right now.
The days of seeing 80% to 100% year-on-year revenue growth are gone, Hussein Kanji from early-stage fund Hoxton Ventures told Business Insider.
Hoxton Ventures' Hussein Kanji said the days of companies racking up 100% year-on-year revenue growth are over.
Investors tend to assess whether a company is IPO-ready on the rule of 40, which is revenue growth plus EBIT margin.
Kanji added: "This is a lesson for a lot of people – if the IPO window opens up, take the company public."
