Sequoia Capital believes that the main ways to help startups survive the cold winter include:
Reorganize the team: Reaffirm the company's mission, vision and values, and retain valuable employees.
Pay attention to cash flow: Always keep an eye on the gas tank.
Increase profits: expand profit channels, improve economic models, and layoffs.
Financing or debt financing: even if the cost is high.
Focus on investing in the main business: Stay away from undisciplined and principled market pursuits. For example, Airbnb has cut off most of its products, but increased investment in the key hosting business and long-term accommodation business.
Innovative thinking: Focus on solving problems with better solutions instead of investing money in problems. Changing the problem is the only option.
