2016 has had a rocky start. After seven years of strong venture financing activity, startups may face tightening conditions as they try to raise capital and look for exits.
The U.S. startup scene has been a happy place for the last few years. An influx of angel and seed funds have given rise to thousands of startup companies. Large funding rounds and high valuations created unicorns. And as recently as last year, 170 companies went public, including some big tech names including FitBit, Square, Box and Atlassian. But the recent data points paint a tougher environment for startups.
