Death Valley Curve Law and Legal Definition
This is a slang phrase used in venture capital to refer to the period of time from when a startup firm receives an initial capital contribution to when it begins generating revenues. During the death valley curve, additional financing is usually scarce, leaving the firm vulnerable to cash flow requirements. The firm will fall victim to negative cash flows if it cannot effectively manage itself through the death valley curve.
