The Chalange
Valuation Pressure: With a focus on profitability, startups may face pressure to lower valuations compared to the boom years of easy capital. Securing funding at favorable valuations will be more challenging.
Talent Retention: The competition for skilled talent remains fierce, and startups will need to offer competitive packages and flexible work arrangements to attract and retain top talent.
Regulatory Hurdles: Changing regulations, especially in fintech and digital sectors, may pose challenges for startups in complying with new laws and maintaining operational flexibility.
Access to Early-Stage Funding: While later-stage startups continue to attract capital, early-stage funding, especially for nascent ideas without proven models, may be harder to come by. Seed and angel investors are becoming more selective.
