It's a great opportunity to potentially acquire positions at lower cost but it requires you not to outsource conviction to things like signaling and party rounds. Ultimately if a company is choosing to raise in this environment, it means it either 1) needs the cash or 2) thinks the market is only going to get worse, so take that how you will. If you find a business that is exceptional but just needs a small bridge to make it through this winter because they had raised 1.5 years ago and planned to go out in the fall for the next round but, maybe worth investing. Bridge round are not inherently bad. As with all things, it depends on circumstances and contains nuance. If you don't want to do significant diligence though, wouldn't suggest it.
