Are you an investor/board member/advisor to a startup looking to appoint and coach a new CEO? Are you evaluating the CEO of a company you are thinking of investing in? Are you a founder looking to hire a CEO for your startup? Are YOU a new CEO or founder looking for insight into how to leverage your role? What should a new CEO's early priorities be?

Economic Climate and Outlook - Implications for Early Stage Investors

​

2023 saw the lowest levels of startup funding since 2018 with early-stage companies seeing a larger year-on-year drop in funding relative to later-stage companies. Valuations across the investing spectrum plummeted. Some have painted this as and existential crises for entrepreneurs and the startup community. Was this a short-term blip or is it a longer-term trend? Will 2024 be more of the same or have we stemmed the tide? Which industries will lead the way? Given the current economic climate, how should an early-stage investor deploy capital and on what terms? What do companies need to do to attract investment? Join us for an in-depth discussion on this and more with HBS Professor Shai Bernstein.
