An increasing number of venture capital investors are sounding the alarm on what the current public markets downturn could mean for private valuations. One recent warning came from Jeremy Levine of Bessemer Venture Partners:
“I believe a lot of the private deals that have (been) getting done recently are providing very poor risk-adjusted returns for investors. Perhaps the dramatic cool-off in the public markets over the last week will start to change things in the private markets.”
