What makes early stage investment pick up again with respect to a recession?


Cheap money from central banks to stoke the economy causes capital to scrounge for returns, leading dollars into venture funds.

As interest rates climb once the economy is growing (we are here), capital no longer needs such risk to obtain returns, hence the flight to safer financial instruments (and the seed/A squeeze currently occurring).
