VC & Angel Investing Reset
What’s going on?
2021–2022: The “Gold Rush”
→ Massive funding flowed to startups without product, revenue, or customers
Too much capital, too little discipline
→ Term sheets were flying without proper due diligence
Poor portfolio performance
→ No exits, flat or down rounds, LPs stopped wiring capital
Angel networks delivered too little value
→ Too many passive investors, high overhead, little follow-up
Global pullback by major VCs
→ Focus shifted to saving existing portfolios
What’s next?
→ Sector-focused, capital-efficient funds
→ Smart angel syndicates instead of open platforms
→ Founders must demonstrate real traction and execution power
→ Many VCs now focus on true AI-First ventures
→ With traction, execution strength, and a lean organization
Companies and Business Models
AI-First companies are gaining hugh ground: Startups that integrate AI from the core (such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Synthesia) are disrupting established players.
Legacy companies must keep up: Corporates are being forced to adjust their models and workflows to stay competitive – under pressure from AI-native competitors.
Scale without people: You already see AI startups with millions of users and only a handful of employees. This is a fundamental break from the old “growth by headcount” model.
