“This sale underscores how far late-stage valuations from 2021 have unraveled, even for companies with strong product-market fit.”
What it means
Miro’s case reflects broader pressure on high-growth SaaS startups that raised at lofty multiples during the pandemic.

Similar down-rounds or sales may follow as more startups face fundraising challenges or maturity deadlines for early backers.
