In this episode of StrictlyVC Download, Connie Loizos will be joined by Signalfire founder Chris Farmer to discuss the current state of venture capital.
With many startups stuck in financial terms and without a clear path to leaving, Farmers shares why they believe there are structural issues in the industry. He also gives his perspective on new funding mechanisms, including secondary sales and venture shopping, and why founders should rethink their exit strategies. Additionally, they are touched on AI-driven investments, and, according to Farmer, 10 years of industry data is giving SignalFire a competitive edge despite the world that every VC team describes as AI and data-driven.
