Zombies are companies that, while they haven't failed outright or shut down, continue to limp along—locking up investor capital without providing opportunities for gains or write-offs. . . 1.Investors should expect more tempered historical revenue growth for deals launching in 2024-2025. 2. There aren't more profitable companies launching in 2023-2024 compared to 2021-2022. 3. The fact that mean revenue growth is declining along with the median suggests that there are fewer companies with massive revenue growth driving the overall numbers. . .

Yes. 🗣️🗣️🗣️ READ IT AGAIN! I was baffled by this metric when I 1st came across it but most people don't know this because the startup ecosystem OBSESSES over funding. Newsflash: Cash creates cash i.e your business model/customers will ALWAYS be your best investors. It doesn't matter what type of business you have. Funding cannot fix a business model that is broken. Join Get Sh!t Done and Women.NYC to learn more about our Pivot to Growth: Equtaible Growth Accelerator Program launching June 10, 2024. Our goal is to ensure women have OPTIONALITY in how they scale versus relying on systems that keep us on a hamster wheel because they weren't set up to ensure we succeed.
