My big question, because the obvious "they screwed up royally with wework" has been talked about ad nauseum, is what is their new strategy? What sorts of start ups are they going to try to fund now? Is any startup that takes their funding starting from a bit behind now, because of the stigma?

I don't keep up with the day to day gossip of VC, but I do find it interesting, so I just want to see the next moves.

Given all of the layoffs happening, it would seem like one of their first steps is to tighten belts.
