The venture capital environment has undergone a huge shift in the past year. In this talk, we’ll explain how the VC landscape has changed and the implications for start-ups. We will examine the impacts on valuations, VC’s willingness to fund, appetite for risk and leverage in deal structuring and terms negotiation. We will explore how AI and ML hardware and software companies have been affected differently from the broader start-up ecosystem and consider the distinct challenges faced by start-ups in the edge AI sector. We will offer guidance for founders, soon-to-be-founders and start-up employees on how to navigate this dynamic environment and strategize effectively in response to changing market conditions.
