Title: Last year in May, YC sent an email[0] to its startups asking them to &quot;plan for the worst&quot; and try to be &#x27;default alive&#x27; for 24 months. We took that advice seriously and drastically reduced our spend, which extended our runway at the expense of growth. I was wondering if other founders are still running their companies in &#x27;economic uncertainty&#x27; mode, or things are relatively back to normal?<p>Anecdotally, from talking to other founders in the Bay Area, it seems like early stage fundraising hasn&#x27;t reduced as drastically as predicted, albeit at lower valuations.<p>[0] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2022&#x2F;05&#x2F;19&#x2F;yc-advises-founders-to-plan-for-the-worst&#x2F;
