In this episode we discuss the current state of the startup ecosystem, which they describe as a 'silent recession.' Despite economic indicators suggesting otherwise, many startup founders are struggling with reduced capital flow and stagnating customer acquisition. The episode delves into the effects of the economic downturn on startups, the impact of investor behavior, and the historical context leading up to the current situation. Ryan and Will emphasize the importance of resetting expectations, adopting a survival mindset, and making tough decisions to ensure longevity in this challenging environment. While this period is difficult, there is always light at the end of the tunnel for those who can weather the storm.
