Focus, efficiency and cash burn: thinking about thriving (or surviving) in a difficult macro and investment market
We’ll be looking at how the global markets are slowing, and how investments and valuations are declining and thinking about how you can best place yourself for success. How can you become more capital efficient? How does your risk tolerance change when you have to be more careful with cash burn? How do you decide to reduce headcount or cut existing projects? How do you balance the need for growth with the need to maintain cash?
