Sarah Kunst

Sarah Kunst appears in When do tech companies need to be consistently profitable? as the Clio Capital investor interviewed by Stephanie Hughes about when tech companies need to become consistently profitable. Her main contribution is the distinction between unprofitability as strategic investment and unprofitability as evidence of weak business economics.

Kunst uses Snap, Amazon, and Meta to explain how investors judge losses. She argues that public investors want a credible Path To Profitability, a clear explanation of what spending is meant to produce, and a management team ready for Activist Investor Pressure when the story stops convincing shareholders.
