Scaling through the slowdown: How to move at the right speed

Scaling through the slowdown: How to move at the right speed

About the event

Slowdowns are a natural part of the economic cycle — but they can be tough. Funding is harder to find and there’s a magnified focus on your financials, so how can startups continue to scale whilst being more capital conscious? This Sifted Talks will explore how startups can scale through the slowdown without hitting the rocks.

We'll be discussing

  1. Re-establishing growth: What’s a good pace to scale in the current economic climate? How can startups stay ambitious whilst remaining cautious of cash burn?
  2. Getting clarity in the new reality: How can startups operate efficiently, optimise revenue and stay nimble? Should founders revise their unit economics?
  3. Staying savvy through the slowdown: How can startups leverage the opportunities provided by the challenging times? Is it a strategic time to hire, acquire or find a buyer?
