Startups are not a low interest rate phenomenon. I bet the average small business would be considered a startup in terms of revenue, potential growth and employee headcount.

What is a low interest rate phenomenon is the unicorn growth strategy and dump trucks full of cash going in to stupid businesses that don't really have a path toward solvency but have really nice marketing.

Will also be impacted due to higher interest rates on their credit lines. Perhaps not as much but still.

That's what I meant by startups though. Startups that aren't doing that are just regular small businesses.
