The overriding ethos of Silicon Valley for the past decade or so has been to grow fast then exit before people can figure out if it’s a good business or not.

An interesting question is if VCs & founders will pivot to creating businesses or just cut costs and ride it out to the next bull market?

@carnage4life couldn't agree more, that's been my observation and the more years I have run Buffer as a real business, the more stark this has felt. I really can't see a while industry shifting fundamentally, probably just more failures for a brief period of time.
