Size matters: media megaround myopia paints distorted picture of seed-stage fundraising
Startup valuations have been brought into stark focus in recent months, and the picture is bleak. The number of companies achieving unicorn status is slowing - in 2021 537 hit that milestone globally, but so far this year just 230 have done so as macroeconomic headwinds hit venture capital. While this might spark some concerns for the health of the global startup ecosystem, the silver lining is that it might just stop the obsession of many media outlets with covering only large funding rounds (because, presumably, a bigger number means a better business).

What do new ESG reporting rules mean for SMEs in Europe?
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting has become increasingly important in recent years. The latest legislation from the European Union, however, means businesses will have no choice but to take it seriously – something that could have significant consequences for larger enterprises and longer term significant impacts for publicly traded small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
