Ask HN: How are VCs doing this times?

7 pointsccozan1 comment

We just started a company with very good prospects of being investible ( have product(s), have customers, B2B only ).

However with the current situation, we do not know what investors are doing, what are they looking for, or simply doing nothing and waiting for better times.

What are your experiences? Has any investor pulled the plug in investing? Have they put the process on hold?

Thank you for your precious info.

There was an article posted earlier today that talked about problems that startups are currently facing:

A quote from that article:

> Bill Gurley, an investor at the venture capital firm Benchmark, said that over the past 10 years of the start-up boom, investors had taken on more and more risk. That has changed, leaving many of the riskiest start-ups exposed.

> “‘Risk on’ happens slowly,” he said. “‘Risk off’ happens overnight.”
