I agree with you, and as someone who gained an interest in startups before anyone started calling this recent trend a "bubble" I ask myself one question:
Will this change what I'm doing with my startup right now?
And the answer for me is a simple "no," as it should be for virtually any founder.
- stefanobernardi 16y agoI'm not so sure about that. It's a fact that raising money now is way easier, and you tend to get high valuations, so many founders should probably fundraise as long as the current hype stays up. It may easily be that next year valuations will be way lower for web startups.
- dabent 16y agoVery good point. There are certainly tactical moves that will change due to conditions, such as fund raising. But the general "run for the hills" attitude I see in many of these posts isn't productive. It's almost as if I see people hesitant to start because they fear that things will fall apart in short order. Maybe I'm reading to much into it.
