First day of 2023. My ambition is to write something everyday this year. Even if it might be both short and not terribly groundbreaking most days, I think writing something each day will lead to more interesting writing overall.
For startups in Stockholm and Sweden/Nordics at large, I believe 2023 will be quite a good year for companies raising pre-seed and seed rounds as a new fundraising environment establishes itself.
For Series A and beyond I think it will be messier as it will take longer (second half of the year) to establish a stable new baseline for valuations and terms. Especially as there will be a bunch of companies that raised on great valuations in 2020 and 2021 that will have to raise new capital. Many on worse terms and/or valuations than the previous round.
