There is no denying that today’s fundraising environment is tough, valuations are depressed, many investors are retracting and looking to provide cover for their existing portfolio companies. But we have seen these cycles before, and we have seen world changing innovations survive and thrive just the same. No matter the environment, having a clear growth plan for your company is essential, but navigating that journey can be especially challenging in a volatile market. Planning your exit strategy today, when resiliency is top of mind for everyone, will only lead to better outcomes.
