The Road Untraveled: VC Perspectives with Brian Hollins

Jim Mawson, Founder and CEO

Key Takeaways:

1. Corporate VC's can be instrumental in helping their portfolio companies not only have the funding to get through, but a perspective of a customer on how to engage during these times.

2. Debt may become a more compelling financing instrument if equity and VC funding becomes more expensive.

3. In the short term we may see Nationalization and more domestic investing as countries get more protective of the companies being built on their soil. Longer term, value and capital will flow to good companies regardless of where they are built.
