Since the start of 2025, I’ve had more conversations than I can count with founders who have felt the true impact of the shift in the market. Investors are taking longer to make decisions. Non-dilutive funding streams have disappeared. Customers are slower to sign on. Capital that used to flow more freely now comes with more strings attached and a sharper eye on risk. This isn’t just a seasonal slowdown. It’s a different environment entirely. For founders—especially those in deep tech—today’s market demands a level of preparation that used to be “nice to have” and is now absolutely essential.
