It’d be foolish to say anything publicly right now and not acknowledge what’s on everyone’s minds — the coronavirus pandemic (along with the impending market downturn) is great cause for concern, capturing our nation and the world economy. Truth be told, business as usual is hard while this disease sweeps across our communities, coming into contact with potentially millions of people which will include loved ones and close friends. But, we must keep pushing on. Looking out to the next few months, it’s going to be a rocky road for businesses and capital allocators, but there are smart people who have seen multiple cycles with pragmatic advice on powering through — keep cash tight, focus on product + R&D, expect slower sales cycles. And with respect to the virus, follow and pay attention to experts (virologists, epidemiologists, public health officials), not VCs.
