My biggest question behind all of this is how interconnected is the tech bubble, and how self-perpetuating will a downturn be?
The venture-backed startups that I’ve worked at have themselves utilized tools built by other venture-backed startups. It seems like there’s an entire cottage industry of SaaS tools designed to make it easier to scale up small companies. What will the effect of a startup downturn be on companies like Carta (high revenue but no profit from what I could find, and whose revenue likely comes from other companies with no profit…) How many Cartas are out there, whose customers are primarily unprofitable startups?
