Today, Alex got Deepka Rana from Northzone on the mic to chat through a bevy of key topics for the new year:
Where venture capital is heading in the new year
The prognosis for startups at different stages of maturity
Why 2023 was the year of adjustment, and 2024 could be the new venture-startup normal
And, the fate of AI in the EU where regulation is afoot. (n.b. When we recorded this, the EU's first-draft of AI regulation had not yet dropped).
We think that every person in startups and venture is hoping that 2024 brings a warmer macroeconomic environment, and lots of exits. We'll see. What was clear from our chat with Rana, however, is that the new year is going to be anything but boring.
