Venture capital funding has declined in 2020 by almost 50% fewer deals closing year-to-date compared to last. Reports from VC’s that LP’s are second guessing new capital commitments are leading VC’s to retrench and reassess strategy.

The drop off in funding has left many startups with no choice but to scale back operations. Smaller tech startups are closing their doors. While mid-large tech startups are laying off as much as 80% of their staff.
