  • Over 50% of companies are confident about increasing their budgets in 2024. 
  • The top goals for startup marketers are improving overall marketing efficiency and reducing customer acquisition 
  • Data-driven decisions are a focus, but confidence lags in optimization. 
  • Economic uncertainty remains the biggest challenge for early-stage startups.
  • Buyer behavior is beginning to stabilize with the same amount of touchpoints needed, yet turnover remains a challenge. 
  • Nearly half of the companies surveyed are optimistic about conditions improving in Q4 and beyond.
