About the event

The European startup ecosystem has had a slow — and tricky — summer, with several once well-funded startups running out of runway and VCs also struggling to raise their next funds. As we look ahead to the end of the year, will things finally pick up, or continue on a downhill trajectory? This Sifted Talks will explore what’s next for venture capital.

We'll be discussing

  1. Lack of funding: Will there be a surge in startup insolvencies and zombie VCs?
