We’ve talked a couple times about how money is just feelings, and here’s venture capitalist Charles Hudson, confirming it:
I see three dominant emotions on the capital provider side of the table right now.
Loss: Loss is one of the dominant emotions people are feeling right now – loss of paper gains, loss of expected carried interest, and a loss of optimism about the future.
Anger: Anger about having agreed to terms and prices that no longer make sense and maybe never made sense.
Regret: Regret about M&A deals that people should have taken, secondary transactions that should have been pursued, public company shares that should have been sold or distributed.
