VC Investing Our Way Out of Winter by Julia Zhou

"Many view the bear market as the best time to build, but the builders still need capital. In wake of the many debacles and the depressed crypto prices, investors have been more cautious about specific business models, wary of valuations, and putting more pressure on founders. But there remains fundamental (and difficult) questions that investors still ask — 1. What VCs are looking for as signs of “legitimacy”? (aka how to prove your project isn’t a slow rug?) 2. Which types of projects are still shipping? And who will weather the winter the best? 3. How do you decide whether to continue, to raise at a downround, or to close shop and return capital to investors? This panel crowd source difficult questions, encouraging a candid conversation about how investors are thinking about long term investing and negotiating at the table."
