What is the capital markets environment for startup tech companies?
I think these two charts tell most of the story:
Seed and Series A is more or less healthy. Series B is getting overheated. Series C and beyond has gone crazy.
Public markets are rational. Tech stock performance has been strong but is driven by strong revenue growth and good business fundamentals generally speaking.
The disconnect is entirely between the late stage private markets and the public markets. That’s where things are unstable.
