Pt.1 Fundraising during a recession, pricing tactics and dealing with cost growth & wage pressure

Pt.2 - Is this a good time to start a company, crazy ideas being pitched, bootstrapping and funding options

Jone Vaituleviciute and Marijus Andrijauskas are partners at Firstpick - early stage venture capital fund backing the best tech founders across the Baltics. Jone and Marijus have spent the last couple of years together working with Startupwiseguys where they invested in such companies as kevin, Ondato, GoRamp, InRento, Jeff, HeavyFinance, Vsight, Watalook & Kernolab and many others.

As we enter the muddy waters of a looming recession, we wanted to take a helicopter look over the industry from people who see lots of companies and the challenges they are facing.
