Join me, Richard Wilson, as I dive into the current state of raising capital. If you're a founder or run an investment fund, you may be facing unprecedented challenges in this environment.

In this video, I share key statistics that illustrate the shifting landscape—such as a staggering 80% reduction in capital raised compared to 2022. With competition fierce and liquidity low, many are finding themselves in need of larger investors to recapitalize deals or consider rescue options.

I'll discuss how current investments are structured to minimize risk, creating a tough environment for capital raising. However, there’s a silver lining: building strong relationships with potential investors now can pay off in the future.
