All right, everybody, welcome back to this week and startups.

It's time for our startup basic segment.

We do this every year or so.

Cinee, I'm with this week in startups and launch.

We both are involved in the startup ecosystem for decades,

and we both care deeply about the

the ecosystem so we get together and we talk about the challenges the legal issues

and you can get all of our startup basics that we've done in history over the years at

this week in startups

dot com slash basics all the basic stuff is important but things are getting a

little complicated of late huh Becky yeah it's not all up into the right, unfortunately.

So I asked you to tell me what are the most painful things that you've seen in the market?

Now, of course, you're not talking about any

specific companies here but the trends because you get to see the trends

at a great firm like Wilson so seeing my injuries so what are you seeing what's happening with startups in 2024 last year. I mean it seems like it was a decade ago but we had Silicon Valley bank

Go under and you know it's coming back now and it's you know in different parts but that was like a

seismic crazy thing that occurred in our industry we had the down mark we have peak

zerp okay here we are,

2024, halfway through the year. Things seem to be getting better, but man, there's a lot of problems

that people are still working their way through. What of the top couple of things you're seeing?

Yeah, I would say, you know, I think you hit it right on the head, right?
