I can tell the number of people who weren't around for the last non-incumbent election.

Every major election year the job market does this. It's worse when it's an 8 year cycle.

Add into it the uncertainty around Trump and Brexit causing economic worries... it's basically there is less risk, so less VC capital, so less startups.

It's a normal cycle.

You mean more* risk (not less).

Less risk tolerance, I reckon.

Right, that was what I was going for.
