Venture Capital Trends for 2023 with VC Financing Expert Robert Suffoletta (January 24, 2023)
Virtual · ZoomHere is the link to the deck that was used in the presentation.
In mid-December, we all learned there’s no end in sight for the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike campaign. As a result, experts are predicting the economy will continue to cool in 2023, perhaps even more than previously anticipated. If that has you thinking, “What does that mean for venture capital financing?”, you’re not alone.
VC financing expert Robert Suffoletta has anxious founders covered when it comes to anticipating financing trends for 2023.
Robert is a partner in the corporate and securities practice of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, a law firm that specializes in business, securities, and intellectual property law.
On Jan. 24, he will be hosting a webinar for Founders Network members where he will discuss venture capital financing trends for the new year.
In the webinar, Robert will also cover:
- Economic concerns and market predictions for 2023
- Fundraising trends per round
- What to expect for valuations
- The future for SAFE financing and bridge loans
