.@khaledalwaleed: “Venture capital is the root of everything innovation - more money was given to VCs by LPs through the first 3 quarters of 2022 than in any prior full year. So long as there is innovation, there will be VC.”

.@khaledalwaleed in conversation with Fadi Ghandour: "Dry powder - more money - is around than ever before and nothing of innovation would be possible without VC backing - web3, digital everything, that's VC at work."

“This growth at any cost model isn’t current, a lot of VCs are telling founders to conserve capital – it’s a good thing, we have to focus now. For the next while, we will see quality capital deployed in quality companies.” - @KhaledAlwaleed | @FIIKSA

Moderator Fadi Ghandour agrees with panelists, asks a key question: "Have we taught founders to spend?" Wondering if founders have the skills to make it through a cash-constricted market, echoing @khaledalwaleed sentiments on more conservative burn. #venturecapital #FII6
@FIIKSA

Venture capital panelists all agree on a needed market correction, and that low interest rates on capital fueled what can be considered less studied spending by founders, encouraged by VCs.
