The Venture Capital Podcast
The Venture Capital Podcast
A podcast about venture capital, and what is happening each week. We discuss who is getting funded. Why specific companies were funded and much more relating to who the next big unicorn will be.
In this episode of the Venture Capital Podcast, hosts Jon Bradshaw and Peter Harris analyze how recent government policy shifts and economic changes are influencing the venture capital landscape and broader economy. They discuss the effects of tariffs, government spending, and regulatory uncertainty on startups and investors, highlighting concerns from founders and VCs alike about how these factors impact funding availability and business operations.
Jon and Peter explore the challenges faced by companies reliant on government contracts and grants, noting how freezes and delays can threaten runway and survival. They also examine the broader fiscal picture, including rising national debt, the potential consequences of inflation and tax hikes, and the complex balancing act governments face in cutting spending without triggering recession.
The conversation touches on real-world examples, such as illustrating how radical change can sometimes be necessary to drive growth amid adversity. The hosts debate the need for significant budget cuts versus gradual reductions and discuss the antiquated state of government technology and defense spending, considering opportunities for modernization and efficiency.
Finally, Jon and Peter share their predictions for the year ahead, weighing the short-term impacts of tariffs and the likelihood of economic downturns against the resilience of the market and potential for innovation. This episode offers a nuanced perspective on how government actions ripple through the venture capital ecosystem and what founders and investors can expect in a shifting economic environment.
