Adapting to new venture capital norms is essential, Harry Stebbings notes
Venture capital in 2026 needs flexibility

Harry Stebbings emphasizes that the key to venture capital in 2026 lies in abandoning conventional approaches learned over the previous decade.

He argues that a flexible mindset regarding pricing, ownership, and upside will be the main differentiator for success going forward.

Stebbings previously highlighted a downturn in the SaaS sector, noting that Wix was valued at $2.1 billion despite generating the same amount in annual recurring revenue here. He has also described the AI infrastructure layer as accounting for $800 to $900 billion in annual spending across the industry here. These observations provide context for Stebbings’ latest views on adapting venture capital strategy.
