Summarization
Venture capitalists and startup founders are concerned about the potential ramifications of Silicon Valley Bank's collapse on fundraising, with 59% of founders worrying that an already tough market may become even tougher. While 22% of founders believe they won't be able to fundraise this year, many have already cut costs and streamlined operations. The situation highlights the importance of being efficient and extending runway. Airbnb's posting and profiting from illegal listings is also a concern, with many feeling the company needs to grow up and accept responsibility. Some VCs have passed on startups in the Series A process due to being overwhelmed by the SVB crisis. Overall, venture does best when everyone knows the rules, and a lack of clarity can lead to things slowing down.
