So the venture is returned to the capital – but not for everyone.
- 71 % of all VCS dollars going into AI
- VC dollars are focused on the stage of progress in maximum winners
- Many traditional B2B VCS are now looking for faster growth than T3D2, in the AI period,
So in some ways everything is known in fundraising, but really, very different.
And what I know is that most of the founders do not know.
They do not see the 100 % change directly, and they don't really know whether they are funds or not. Especially when many major rounds were actually signed on the Tech Crunch and even closed before the big change.

So in good times and in bad, my simple advice is:
At least once, at your board meetings, if you have, if you have-ask each of your 4-5 largest investorsS:
Are we worthy of funds today? What are the difficulties we can turn off a round? And on what terms?
You will often be surprised. And one thing that is generally known better than the founders is how much funds you are. After all, they do all day, every day.
In particular, the founders are working very well, but do not knock it out of the park, often surprising. Especially the founders who spend such an easy time to increase in the last period, are often surprised.
I would say that at least half is surprised.
