Sifted Talks

About the event

2023 is shaping up to be a year like never before — how are top VC firms navigating the unfavourable economic climate? Is unicorn chasing still the only rule that matters? This Sifted Talks will explore how investment plans have shifted during the downturn and share tactics for setting your fund up for success.

We'll be discussing

  1. If unicorn status is old news, what’s the new measure of startup success?
  2. What benchmarks are top-performing funds using?
  3. What are “good” deal terms in 2023?
  4. How have VC networks evolved during the downturn?
