Median Techstars batch last year was 5.4MM pre-money.

If a company raises $10M pre-revenue and in 12 months has $300K ARR that barely justifies a $12M Series A (using median SaaS data from Tomasz Tunguz and comments from Jason Lemkin about needing $1M+ ARR to raise Series A)

Curious what you think about east coast vs. west coast startup valuations and companies the expectations of companies that went through accelerators vs. those that didn’t

As you say no-one wins from this situation. I am interested in seeing who are the winners when the current level of valuations falls. I expect that there will be many casualties but the companies that survive will be the next generation of great industry leaders.
