In this episode of StrictlyVC Download, Connie Loizos is joined by SignalFire founder Chris Farmer to discuss the current state of venture capital.
With many startups stuck in financial limbo and no clear path to exit, Farmer shares why he believes the industry has a structural problem. He also gives his perspective on new funding mechanisms, including secondary sales and venture buyouts, and why founders should rethink their exit strategies. Plus, they touch on AI-driven investing and why, according to Farmer, having a decade’s worth of industry data still gives SignalFire a competitive edge, despite a world where every VC team describes itself as AI and data driven.
