Yea, I'm pretty sure a bunch of investors changed their guidance on managing runway this summer to extend the runways as future rounds may be harder. Something like where guidance for many would be 2 years, now to target 4. Although at least one company I talked to earlier in the year didn't have this memo.
I think lots of companies are seeing a longer/harder sales cycle as well, so they're still growing, but at a reduced rate, which when combined with that investor advice can lead to reqs the company thought they had, not really being available when it comes to deciding on making an offer.
What I don't know about, is if there's a bit more slack in the job market, where a year ago if you completed the interview you would get an offer, instead companies now have the ability to select among multiple good candidates.
