Relax, people. This is just part of the cycle. Anyway throwing money at anything with "AI" in its pitch deck is back.
Challenges breed innovation. Watch this space - the next big disruptors will emerge from this "funding winter".
Silver lining: M&A activity might pick up. If you can't raise, might as well sell, right?
So is it going down by this year?
84% drop? Ouch. Guess it's time to dust off that ramen recipe from our seed stage days.
