Sequoia Capital: Adapting to Endure
One of the most famous documents in venture capital is Sequoia Capital’s 2008 presentation ‘RIP Good Times’. It warned its portfolio companies of the economic devastating coming from the Global Financial Crisis and the steps it suggested they should take to prepare. Sequoia are back in 2022 with another presentation, this time titled ‘Adapting to Endure’. While they do not suggest that this is a moment to panic, they do say it is a time to pause and reassess. The starting point here is that the cost of capital has increased - both for debt (higher interest rates) and for equity (lower public and private market valuations).2nd Jun, 2022
