In my 7 years of investing, I don’t think I’ve seen a continuous wave of publicly announced layoffs at tech startups like the wave to start 2020. Investors know of more coming that have yet to be announced. This could be isolated to Softbank, but it feels broader in scope.

Yes I know. Was just making the absolute vs relative comparison over last 2 decades in addition to my take on the recent layoffs.

@zapier@GustoHQ@intercom) and had opportunity to invest in all, but missed two of them due to lack of experience in closing deals, and lack of high conviction, and some luck maybe
