Connecting Traditional VCs with Blockchain

0
One of the most exciting developments in the technology space today is that of cryptocurrencies and their accompanying digital ledgers. F50’s Global Capital Summit will be an incredible opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors in the world of cryptocurrency to meet and discuss the exciting future of this industry.
In the last few years, Blockchain-based companies have gained a tremendous amount of support from traditional venture capital firms. As Blockchain — the world’s first truly transparent and secure digital transaction ledger — continues to develop and grow, VC investments should follow a similar trajectory.
As recently as 2012, venture capital firms accounted for just $2.13 million in Blockchain investments. By 2017, worldwide VC investments in Blockchain and Blockchain-based startups totaled over $900 million, a number which should rise again this year. Through February 2018, venture capital fundraising for Blockchain companies in 2018 was already over 40% of last year’s total.
On the other end of the funding spectrum, many startups are now self-funding by offering their own cryptocurrencies in an initial coin offering, or ICO. Last year alone, ICO-backed projects generated nearly $500 million in funding.
Much of the current Blockchain investment is coming from China, where a government-based investment group is starting a funding center specifically geared to Blockchain development. The future of cryptocurrency on the whole will likely rely greatly on investors and entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley and China teaming up.
As Bitcoin miners continue to bring more coins into circulation, the industry keeps climbing in value — creating fresh opportunities for forward-thinking entrepreneurs and investors alike. From VCs to ICOs, there’s a ton of funding being generated for smart startups.
F50’s Global Capital Summit will be attended by many of these founders and funders, and it’s exciting just to think about the various kinds of innovative developments that will arise from their partnerships.

New Directions in DeepTech Investment

0
What makes deep tech startups different than their digital cousins? What are the new expectations that investors have for startup funding? What do deep tech startups need (besides money)?
These questions—and their answers—signal a new direction in deep tech startup funding.
More Resources, More Business Savvy, More Collaboration The answers to these questions can be summarized in one word: more. Commercializing truly disruptive technology requires:
  • More development resources. More time, research resources and money to develop totally new technologies and commercialize new products.
  • More business awareness and skills. That means senior decision makers must have the ability to market a first-of-its-kind product before they launch it and review everything technological from a business point of view.
  • More non-financial support. Deep tech startups face challenges that go beyond capital. Survey respondents noted concern over the time to market of their innovations, needing more information about their economic environment and a wish to collaborate with corporate partners to fill gaps such as distribution networks and customer segmentation.
And oh yes, deep tech requires more patient investors. Deep tech payback periods are typically longer because it takes longer to get products to market.
Deep Tech Founders, Meet Local and International Investors
The only way to get meaningful answers to your investment and partnership questions is go meet local and international investors, investment strategists and good old-fashioned entrepreneurs.
On May 3rd, 2018, you can meet the F50 network at the Spring Global Capital Summit. This one-day event brings investing expertise to Palo Alto.
Join us for a day filled with information, startup presentations and networking with HealthTech, AI, Robotics, Materials Science and other Deep Tech founders. For agendas and detailed speakers’ information for this event, go to https://f50.io/gcs18

Anu Nigam

Ever since Anu’s first startup, he has enjoyed working with small driven teams with cutting edge technologies who develop them into successful businesses. His first two startups revolutionized fiber-optic telecommunications resulting in two acquisitions both in the Top 10 Largest VC-Backed M&A Deals of All Time.* After the .com crash, Anu shifted sights to consumer internet and started one of the world’s first social networks, hi5.com, which grew to 60M MAU. When the first smartphone came out, he started an app company that organically attracted 15M installs.

Beyond his life in operations, Anu has contributed positively to the startup ecosystem in a variety of ways. He have personally invested in over 50 startups and has served as an advisor to a litany of others. After multiple interactions with A-list entrepreneurs, Anu realized that the biggest need for an entrepreneur isn’t capital; it’s solid advice. That need and his passion for startups has led me to join ETW Advisors, a firm that provides trusted counsel to startup founders as they grow their business from concept to product to scale.

Anu believes the journey of most startups is dynamic and can be filled with many unknowns. The advisors at ETW have been there before and can help make that journey a little bit easier. It doesn’t have to be quite as lonely with our stellar team by your side.
