I think the main effect will be to push VC funded companies more towards sustainable growth, with less emphasis on growth at all costs. This strikes me as a good thing overall. That probably won't harm the fundraising prospects for solid businesses much if at all.

Highly speculative or hyped companies will probably have a somewhat more difficult time attracting VC investors, but so many of those turn out to be frauds or vaporware that I'm not too concerned. Companies like the ones that benefitted from the SPAC boom a couple years ago. Most of those ended up being highly overvalued companies that lost money for the post-VC investors.

Eh, this is probably true. It was fun in the days when it was all about getting acquired by Google or Facebook, but I guess this spurred a lot of unsustainable businesses. If you were making revenue you were seen as dumb. "Lol, why would you charge money? Doesn't you know how to build a business?"
