Relying heavily on data analysis is crucial. Ensure you're constantly monitoring data not just for growth metrics but also customer feedback, market trends, and economic indicators. It helps to pivot quickly based on factual insights rather than guessing your way through it.

Startups are all about chasing big dreams. The economic uncertainty could mean there are gaps and opportunities right now. Don't let the fear of risk stop you from pursuing a potentially game-changing idea. Just be smart about your resource allocation!

Having weathered several economic cycles with my startups, here's my 2 cents: Focus heavily on customer discovery before scaling anything. Understand the real pain points of your potential customers and validate your product thoroughly. Leverage your network for early funding and advice.

I think tech startups have always had a degree of risk, but 2023 might seem particularly challenging due to the economic environment. What you could focus on is identifying a strong, recession-proof market or a tech that's essential regardless of economic conditions, like cybersecurity or some aspects of healthcare tech. Diversify your customer base early if possible and run a very tight ship in terms of costs.

I started in 2023! Launched a SaaS and growing slowly but steadily. Bootstrapping helps to cut costs in uncertain times. Build something small first, solve a niche problem, and scale incrementally. Risk is less about timing and more about preparation and execution.

It's like stocks - you can never predict completely. People are still starting companies and succeeding despite recessions. Diversify your revenue streams and don't rely on a single strategy or market. Economic uncertainty might actually breed opportunity if you can pivot quickly!
