But they all align on one thing: venture investments post-seed stage are way down. How down? The latest CB Insights data I thought summarized it the most elegantly: Deals were down to a 5+ year low , not just lower than the go-go days of late 2020 to late 2021, but down from every single quarter in 2019 and 2018, too.

Too often, I see sales teams thinking of their “ sales process ” as a set of stages in their pipeline and maybe a bunch of fields to complete at each stage. And I see those same teams wrongly claiming, in deal reviews, that these are the things that killed their deals: Product functionality gaps The winning vendor’s solution included critical functionality that we don’t have.
