DISQUS

Well at least we startups don't have billions of debt or a stock price to worry about ;-)
And the big guys that will fall during this tough period will leave plenty of space for 'us'. The question of course, is which one of us.
To add to the scenario mix, this is what Mr Roubini has to say about how much worst things can get in the coming weeks.

the times are fine, the cumulative reactions of humans is the problem

Hi Nic - I'd actually be a little affronted if a VC called me in to point out that I may need to cut costs during the economic meltdown and then follow that up with direction on how to do so. Surely, you'd hope to invest in a team that can see this and do it for themselves?

I agree Scott.

Less opportunity for the mediocre to ride the bubble, but just as much opportunity for the great. The fact remains that startups are created to solve problems and problems still exist during recessions: in fact economic turbulence creates a multitude of problems to be addressed.

Its a great time to build a differentiated offering that wont have 10000 other clones.
