As the investment landscape transforms amid economic uncertainty, are you prepared to adapt and leverage emerging opportunities?

Here are a few ways the recent business recession has affected angel investing:

🌟 The ebb and flow of the investment landscape amid recessions can feel overwhelming. The shift from established unicorns to promising seed-stage startups is evidence of this dynamic nature.
📈 Investment in the recession has experienced fluctuations, but overall, there has been an upward trend in funding and support for startups.
💸 The pandemic initially posed a risk of an earlier recession, but government stimulus checks and funding extended the recovery period and increased purchasing power.
🏢 Companies, fueled by the additional support, over-hired and invested in larger ecosystems to achieve scale and higher revenues.
🐣 However, with the recession and devaluation of unicorn startups, there is now a shift towards investing in pre-seed and seed startups in their early stages.
💰 Startups that are profitable or not burning through excessive funds are considered more attractive investment opportunities.
🏦 Funding opportunities for large conglomerates and multinational companies have diminished, while angels and VCs have more access to opportunities in the earlier stages of startups.
💡 The recession has brought forth more creative business ideas and increased opportunities for angels to invest in promising ventures.
🌱 Pre-seed and seed stages remain of interest to both angels and funds, as they offer the potential for success with the right influx of capital.
