Marcia shares Current Economic Insights for Investors and Entrepreneurs

This week Marcia Dawood is bringing you a very brief episode of The Angel Next Door to share some powerful statistics delivered by Dr. Ronald Weissman at the ACA Summit in May. Marcia shares stats on the current economic decline we are experiencing in public markets, IPOs, valuations, seed funding, mergers and acquisitions, exits and more after studying the data from Q1 2022 compared to last year. When exits slow down, raising money is harder and takes longer.  Marcia also tells us what down rounds are and why they can often occur during an economic downturn.  Marcia tells our listeners, “this is a time when angels and entrepreneurs need to protect ourselves and as always, cash is king!” She also explains what cram downs are and what to look out for!On July 6th at 12 PM ET, Marcia will be moderating a webinar where Dr. Ron Weissman will be giving up to the minute updates on his presentation from May and give more insights on what can be done to protect ourselves now and in the future as times are unsteady.Finally, Marcia wants everyone to know that although there may be a rough 6-12 months ahead of us it is not a time to be scared but simply to focus on preserving every dollar you can.  Tune in to listen to the full episode to hear examples of what we can do to get ahead of the game! Click Here to read Marcia's profile on LinkedInClick Here to read Dr. Ron Weissman’s profile on LinkedInClick here to learn more about the webinar on July 8th - Crystal Ball 2022: The Path Forward for Angels and Startups in Down MarketsClick here to find out more about the Angel Capital AssociationTake courses to learn how to be an angel investor at Angel University - click here for info!Want to reach the Angel Capital Association?
