So much yes! Perhaps this shift in capital supply will fund fewer copy cat "X for Y" type businesses (Uber for Y), (Tinder for Y), etc. and focus on truly innovative ventures. I think true innovation in the energy and biotech spaces, to name a few, would still find capital. Like the saying goes, "nothing focuses the mind like half the budget."

"energy and biotech spaces" - it is hard to distinguish between actually innovative and looking like innovative (but smart scam with nice promises).

Why would higher interest rates lead to more innovative (and therefore risky) businesses being created?
