Is this idea that the best startups are created during a recession just overdoing optimism or do you think that's the actual reality?

I think the best startups could be created anytime, however the ratio of “best startups vs all startups” could likely be higher during a recession vs a boom period where everyone feels like giving it a go

I was let go. Never have I been so happy to finally find time to work on my start up. I think it’s true that recessions tend to give birth to some founders. Time will tell
If they turn out to be the best or not.:)

I got an offer from Infosys and the joining date was 12th December, I drop my resignation to my current employer based on the offer date and my LWD is 2nd December. But Infosys has delayed it by 20 days and revised it on 2nd January also they have sent me a addendum with new joining date. Now I am little anxious if it is due to the recession that has hit Indian market or if they again delay the joining. Please suggest do I need to withdraw my resignation or stick to Infosys offer.Infosys

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?
