According to different estimations, around 90% of startups collapse at some point because they fail to maintain or start to generate profit. Despite a flourishing global startup ecosystem, which today is worth over\u00a0$4 trillion<\/a>, the life of a such a company is rarely easy. For example, only\u00a08.7% of startups<\/a>\u00a0in the Baltic States, a currently promising region in the startup sphere, proceed from pre-seed\/seed to series A rounds. In the global arena, venture capital funding conditions are worsening, too. Inflation, rising interest rates and the war in Europe have already stopped 2021’s money splash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, VC funding has never been a promise of success. Out of 200 companies funded by top VCs<\/a>, 15 (on average) generate nearly all the economic return. Most VC-funded startups face issues scaling their operations and reaching greater maturity, often followed by significant layoffs and difficulties finding a market fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering this, maybe the tightening pockets of startups’ angels can be a blessing in disguise in times of economic instability<\/a>? Such names as Zoho, GitHub, GymShark and Oxylabs, among others, indicate that less “easy money” and a disciplined bootstrapping approach can offer a smoother road to the unicorn hall of honor and a solid alternative to VC funding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
