Dog days of summer

We’re coming on the unofficial last week of summer with Labor Day next weekend. It’s generally a period for people to squeeze the last of their summer travel out. A lot of the Secfi team is out of the office and a lot of our partners are as well.

The tech world isn’t neccesarily out of the office though as both Klaviyo and Instacart have filed to go public today. It’s been almost 2 years since the last notable venture backed tech company to go public. The closed window has been a tough period for many of us.

For me, this feels a bit like 2020 where things were quiet all summer. Then picked up significantly to close out the year. I’m not anticipating the same level of activity like in the fall of 2020 but there is quite a bit of hope on the horizon. I’m cautiously optimistic.

For me personally, I’ll probably take off a bit early on Friday and hit the golf course. Next week, I’ll close out my summer with a short trip to Seattle to watch my Huskies kick off the season. When I’m back, it’s going to be go time.
