VCs have to figure out where to put their money, and their time, when the public markets are still down 50% from their peaks and late stage, follow-on capital has almost evaporated. Things are still very good in SaaS. The top Cloud and SaaS leaders are growing faster than ever. But the public markets are brutal, and it’s rippled all through venture capital.
