Marlon Nichols, Founder & Managing Partner, MaC Venture Capital
Key Takeaways:
1. Companies that can thrive in this environment: health tech space, remote work, collaboration, government/reg tech.
2. Companies will have to make hard changes, but need to keep an eye on how the business is performing and whether you are still achieving the short term goals you set out to accomplish.
3. Diverse founders are historically underfunded, but once funded, tend to outperform non-diverse teams by 30% on average. Investors should continue to find ways to source and support diverse teams much like the efforts of the 'Launch with GS' team.
