Insight
Sacks: Banning M&A exits will hurt venture returns and reduce risk capital
“So if you take M&A off the table, you are basically denying a lot of attractive exits for risk capital, and that's going to ultimately hurt the returns for risk capital and lead to less of it.”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Sacks: Prolonged high rates will constrain risk capital and depress valuations
“So as a result of that, interest rates are going to stay higher longer, which means that risk capital will be less available. So valuations are going to go down, or at least they're not going to be racing back up like they used to.”
