Donald Trump’s re-election campaign has reignited one of his hallmark economic tools: tariffs.
Private equity firms and venture capital funds are recalibrating their models, mandates, and maps in response to the new tariffs.
Cross-border transactions now face 'tariff-adjusted' projections, resulting in lower multiples, more conservative debt structures, and increased reliance on domestic value creation.
Startups and investors are experiencing increased uncertainty and risk due to the tariffs, leading to adjustments in funding strategies and investment decisions.
