AdvertisementAdvertisementThis longer wait time between rounds isn't totally surprising since VC funding this year has been its lowest since 2018. Startup extinction season is well underway and it seems as though we're seeing a startup per week bite the dust.

☆ Startup extinction season is going to kick into high gear — and there's likely going to be a bloodbath soon for some of the 50,000 VC-backed startups

Venture capital funding was overly abundant in the latter half of 2020 and all of 2021.

Investors were just pulling in their horns, the SPAC market had fallen apart, valuations for tech companies were collapsing."
