I think it's more likely to cause a lost Decade of people not going into CS or tech due to lack of entry-level jobs. Maybe next time there's a boom and the pendulum of the power dynamic between management and labor swings more tow

It sounds unusual for a seed-stage company (I assume that’s what you mean) to seek funding from private equity. Did the company already have significant revenue and profitability? Why did the founder go for private equity rather than VC.. w
