Avatar for mohamad reza mohmmadiMohamad Reza Mohmmadi
منطق حاکم بر سرمایه‌گذاری خطرپذیر تغییر کرده است. دیگر نمی‌توان مختصات امروز بازار را با فرمول‌ها و متغیرهای سال‌های ۲۰۲۰ و ۲۰۲۱ تحلیل کرد. در آن دوره، فوران نقدینگی، نرخ بهره نزدیک به صفر و خوش‌بینی بی‌محابا به استارتاپ‌های فناوری، موجی از ارزش‌گذاری‌های نجومی و ظهور شتابان تک‌شاخ‌ها را رقم زد. اما آن روی سکه خیلی زود نمایان شد. بالا رفتن نرخ بهره، اصلاح سنگین ارزش‌گذاری‌ها و قفل شدن مسیرهای خروج، فشار بی‌سابقه‌ای را به کل زنجیره تأمین مالی، به‌ویژه سرمایه‌گذاران محدود وارد کرد. ... ادامه مطلب
