@warisharashid
Warisha Rashid writes about the intersection of corporate strategy, venture capital, and macro for TECHi — why certain acquisitions close when the Fed pivots, why a Series C prices at a markdown, and how capital rotation reshapes competitive positioning. She reads PitchBook, CB Insights, and S&P Capital IQ filings alongside the earnings commentary most coverage ignores. Her work focuses on M&A rationale, startup unit economics, and the policy signals that move private markets before they show up in public ones.
