The COVID-19 crisis thrust the world's biggest economies into mayhem and economic uncertainty. Businesses, big and small, are struggling in the wake of disappearing demands. Even a strong product, right positioning and a capable team has not saved some startups from reaching the very brink of bankruptcy and AI startups are no exception. Even as AI becomes ever more relevant in the contact-less future, drying funds is a real struggle that has hit the ecosystem across technologies. In such volatile times, raising funds for a startup can turn from a challenge to a near impossibility.
