Despite our best efforts, the looming threat of a "Sticky Wicket" becomes apparent, especially as major players in the market start to fail and lay off their employees due to overextension. Join us as we discuss the concept of zombie companies and how low margins and excessive debt can hinder innovation and expansion. Brace yourselves for the inevitable disappearance of numerous startups in the coming years. Watch now to understand the risks and implications for businesses in a rapidly changing landscape.
