1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator Investor Forum: With Pawel Maj, Investment Director at Warsaw Equity Group (Part 4)

Sramana Mitra: We are big fans of capital-efficient businesses that are not necessarily chasing unicorns. Partly, the problem I have with this unicorn chasing is flushing these companies with too much capital. Then the exit bar is so high that companies end up in this twilight zone where they’re burning too much cash, can’t raise more money, and can’t find an exit because the valuation requirements are too high to have a profitable exit.

I’m pleased to hear that you are acknowledging that there are other ways of building businesses. Now there is a question though. How much exit capacity exists in the region? If there are 5,000 to 10,000 startups, how do you think this is going to play out?
