Last week, I had the pleasure of presenting the State of VC at Elevate Ventures' CheckIN Event for some of our key stakeholders. The theme of the discussion was the macro climate and whether we are currently in a secular high-rate environment. As we all know, this is a critical question to answer in the early-stage funding environment. Despite the challenges, there are some exciting things happening within US labor productivity that may be leading to a quicker rebound for VC, even in the face of a secular high-rate environment. Check out my carousel or follow the link to my thread for an in-depth analysis of my findings. Link: https://lnkd.in/gxiZXT7y #venturecapital #startups

Surprisingly, in the world of venture capital, only a select few VCs consistently demonstrate these crucial practices: ✅ Taking the lead in scheduling, showing proactive engagement. ✅ Running an efficient process, respecting everyone's time and resources. ✅ Treating founders with the respect they deserve, acknowledging their hard work and vision. ✅ Investing fairly or passing transparently, maintaining integrity in their decision-making. ✅ Sending a simple thank you to those who facilitate introductions, recognizing the value of connections and relationships. Which practices should be standard in the VC community as per you? P.S: Let's make 'Thank You Thursdays' a thing in the VC community. Who's in?

Median pre-money valuations increased across all venture capital stages (except for Series C) in Q4 2023. This is welcomed news after valuations were suppressed for much of 2022 and 2023 and is indicative of increased venture activity, the peaking of interest rate cycles and early signs of a warming IPO market. Whilst this data published by Carta is based on US start-ups, it is a positive sign for the Australian early-stage start-up ecosystem.
