De staat van startups in 7 grafieken

Vorig jaar was er het laagste niveau aan startupfinanciering in vijf jaar, waren de waarderingen drastisch gedaald en bood het weinig hoop voor beursintroductiekandidaten. Maar staat dat nu allemaal in de achteruitkijkspiegel? Dat is zeker de hoop van veel van de startende investeerders en ondernemers met wie we onlangs hebben gesproken, die zeggen dat zelfs als de zaken in 2024 niet goed gaan, ze in ieder geval uitkijken naar een jaar van relatieve rust en voorspelbaarheid. Laten we, met dat in gedachten, eens kijken naar wat er gebeurt in de startup-wereld, zoals gezien door zeven

Ervaring als statussymbool door @ttunguz

Last year, I argued every company would need an AI strategy because AI would infuse most products. But, I missed an important concept in the post. Talent. In the last year, AI experience has become a status symbol on a resume & a path to materially higher salaries.

Fintech Nexus-nieuwsbrief (25 januari 2024): BaaS-banken voelen de woede van federale toezichthouders
