VC firms and angel networks are quietly collapsing — and it’s not just a funding winter. Over the past 18–24 months, we’ve seen a deep correction. Too much capital was deployed in 2021–22 with too little diligence — pitch decks with no product, no traction, no plan. Now the hangover is here: flat rounds, no exits, burnouts, and LPs closing their wallets. Large angel networks charging carry on small cheques without real value are fading fast. Founders are choosing curated, operator-led syndicates instead. Globally, Y Combinator, Tiger, Accel, and Techstars are all scaling back. Big VCs are busy fixing old bets, not making new ones. The next phase? Lean, sector-specific, operator-driven capital. Founders who show real revenue and execution. Capital isn’t gone — it’s just getting smarter. Are we seeing a short-term correction or a long-term VC reset?
