Logan Bartlett predicts tariff-induced corporate paralysis will trigger a US recession
“I think people are going to be stuck in this state of paralysis a little bit of like, what do we actually do right now? And inherently, I think that becomes self-fulfilling in the way that it's going to lead to a recession for us. I hope, again, I hope I'm wro…”
Logan Bartlett argues the Democratic Party is anti-growth and anti-capitalism

Bartlett: VCs avoided real reckoning for 2021 excesses

Bartlett: LP prisoner's dilemma keeps private startup prices elevated

Bartlett: Most AI equity value will probably accrue to Big Tech incumbents

Private growth deals hit 300x ARR while public markets peaked at 20x
“We were this summer seeing businesses get done at 200 times, 300 times ARR. When the public markets were saying like at best you could trade at, I don't know, 20 times forward revenue or something.”
Using sharp elbows to box out co-investors alienates founders long-term
“And the ones that don't do it well are the ones that really view this as out of the money call options. And if the opportunity presents itself, we're going to try to get sharp elbowed and box out other groups. And I've yet to see that really work. It might wor…”
