## Resource

The Federal Open Market Committee signaled a longer stretch of restrictive policy while inflation trends toward two percent, and major equity indexes slipped as Treasury yields moved higher. Chair Jerome Powell reiterated data dependence, and markets priced tighter financial conditions. Historical episodes in 2000, 2007 to 2009, and late 2018 show that hawkish signals have sometimes preceded large equity drawdowns. Tighter policy often coincides with stricter bank lending standards, higher interest expense on credit lines tied to SOFR and prime, and more selective venture debt terms. Small caps and private companies tend to feel pressure earlier, with private valuations adjusting after public markets. Founders are responding by stress testing revenue, pacing hiring to cash visibility, tightening payment terms, and managing treasury exposure to duration and equity risk.
