Arne and Chander discuss an important and unpopular topic i.e. how do markets behave differently in an economic downturn, how do startups prepare for a downturn, and how do startups have to operate in a downturn. How the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) change from growth to cash. We also talk about how startup operations differ in early and late stage during downturn. Finally, we talk about downrounds (when the fundraising round values the company lower than the previous fundraising round valuation).
