Working in a newsroom, there's basically no escaping the current carnage on Wall Street--watch CNBC or Bloomberg long enough and you will become convinced the world as we know it will come crashing down sometime before the next commercial break.
There has already been a fair amount written about how tech VCs are reacting to the current carnage on Wall Street, but what about the start-ups themselves?
I talked to CEOs of about a half dozen Internet start-ups both here in NYC and in the Valley and the overriding sentiment seems to be stay focused on your core business, close your funding rounds and don't talk too much about it (almost if you make it a big deal it will become a big deal).
