About the event
VCs have been peddling the blitzscaling approach for years, but now the focus is on “cutting costs”. It’s not black and white — any investor would agree that startups need growth to survive in the long-term. So what’s the right revenue strategy for right now? This Sifted Talks will dive into the growth vs profitability debate.
We'll be discussing
- From bold bets to cautious cheques: The newly conservative approach of VCs can seem jarring, so how can founders and revenue leaders go to market in this new context?
- The signs of sustainable growth: Cutting down on cash burn might halt growth — how do you find the right balance between spend and save?
- Team health check: Against the backdrop of market hysteria, how do you build confidence that your revenue strategy is up to scratch?
