Startups that are born in or survive a downturn, they are more tight with better survivalism. When things get better they still have an advantage over other startups.  Things go from tight to alright, alright and it doesn&#x27;t affect them.<p>Tightly run ships, like smart remote companies without as much office space (lower salaries outside SV) or many employees or even generating revenue run will probably not even feel a blip in most cases. It is the ones that are a while from a product and paying the higher tag for office space, salaries and more for the chance to get funding in SV.  If that funding isn&#x27;t there for a while it could be problematic and is the risk with boom&#x2F;bust cycles.
