Adeo Ressi’s Post

Adeo Ressi unveils the survey on VC trends for Q4 2023 done by VC Lab 🚀 1️⃣ Increased VC Ethics: The SEC's recent introduction of new rules is setting the tone for a more ethical VC landscape. 2️⃣ Growth in AI and Ethical AI: There’s a rising demand for ethical AI systems that combine smart capabilities with a dedication to privacy, security, and societal principles. 3️⃣ More Bridge Rounds: Startups might be choosing to remain private for extended durations before deciding to go public or pursue an acquisition. 4️⃣ Lower Valuations: Lower valuations are often viewed as a double-edged sword; this might be a sign of increasing caution in the venture space. On the other hand, this can indicate an increased emphasis on sustainable growth and realistic pricing. 5️⃣ Increased Due Diligence: There is an anticipation that deals will continue to face more due diligence in Q4 as VCs continue to exercise more caution. 6️⃣ Growth in Sustainability: The increased focus on sustainability is predicted to grow as the world faces environmental challenges.

"Venture Capital needs a rebrand." Adeo Ressi I joined VC Lab Cohort 12 this month with a passionate objective to improve the #Startup - #Investor relationship journey, particularly assessing & reassessing alignment of ethics & values through an emotional intelligence lens before, during & after exit, particularly where an early exit is the only option for one or the other when boundaries have been breached. In my view, investors have a 'duty of care' for the welfare, #mentalhealth & #wellbeing of their Startup Founders throughout the lifetime of the relationship & not just to make sure that quick money is made fast to satisfy GPs & LPs. If #money is the sole focus, ethics & values are compromised. #Ethics, #Values, #EQ Emotional Intelligence, #Purpose, #Impact. #Diversity can not currently be quantified & measured as I so exhaustingly learned through #CHATGBT 4.2 this week failing 20+ times in my investment #thesis until I removed the words that mean everything to me & my purpose. We currently measure EVERYTHING on 'value' of $$$$$$$. Nothing has 'value' unless it can be measured against money or financial gain. Indeed #risk taking investors need & deserve financial return & reward though isn't it time to explore new measurements of success, particularly as Adeo mentions that 9,500 NEW VC Firms will enter the market over the next few years? One of the greatest challenges is how do we quantify so called 'soft skills' that are the making of a great open #mindset abundant with creative intelligence? I would love to hear from anyone who is working on how to qualify the importance & impact of purpose metrics across EQ values & ethics. I'm also very excited to be studying with the incredible Leyla F Karaha on this Cohort!
