March last year, a top venture capital firm described Covid-19 as the \"black swan of 2020.\"\n\"Private financings could soften significantly, as happened in 2001 and 2009,\" Sequoia Capital told portfolio company founders and CEOs in a memo reminiscent of its \"R.I.P. Good Times\" presentation in the 2008 crisis.\nFast forward to July 2021, and tech investors are writing bigger checks than ever. According to CB Insights, start-ups have raised $292.4 billion globally so far this year, on track to beat the $302.6 billion raised throughout 2020.\nThe number of so-called \"mega rounds\" — massive, $100 million-plus venture deals — has climbed to 751 in 2021 year-to-date, already beating the 665 mega rounds that were raised last year.\n\"This feels a lot like 1999 to me,\" Hussein Kanji, a partner at U.K. venture capital firm Hoxton Ventures, told CNBC. \"You had so much supply, so much enthusiasm.\"\n\"There was an era where if you put dot-com in your name, your public market stock would go up,\" he added. \"There was so much enthusiasm for catching the next big thing.\"\n\nDot-com companies were all the rage on Wall Street in the late 1990s, amid growing adoption of the internet. Speculative investing fueled a 400% climb in theNasdaq Compositestock market index between 1995 and 2000. By October 2002, it had plunged almost 80% from its peak.\nIn the past five years, the Nasdaq has nearly tripled, with the market values of several large-cap tech stocks, includingAmazon,GoogleandFacebook, crossing the $1 trillion mark.MicrosoftandAppleare currently worth more than $2 trillion.\nNow, skyrocketing valuations of private tech firms are causing concern for some investors. U.S. payments processor Stripe wasvalued at a whopping $95 billionin March, illustrating the growing trend of start-ups staying private for longer.\nA record 249 firms achieved $1 billion \"unicorn\" valuations in the first half of 2021, according to CB Insights, almost double the number of unicorns produced during the course of last year.\n\n\"It's a great time to fundraise as an entrepreneur,\" Andrei Brasoveanu, partner at venture capital firm Accel, told CNBC. \"The quality of companies and the speed at which these companies grow is just unprecedented.\"\nThe 'FOMO' factor\nTiger Global, a hedge fund known for its bets on pre-IPO tech companies, has gained a much larger presence in venture capital lately. Meanwhile, Japanese conglomerate SoftBank hasshaken up the world of start-up investingin recent years with its massive Vision Fund.\nThe increased competition in venture dealmaking hasn't gone unnoticed by investors. Private tech valuations are getting \"more and more distant from reality\" due to a \"fear of missing out,\" Hoxton Ventures' Kanji said.\nIana Dimitrova, CEO of U.K. fintech start-up OpenPayd, said her firm is in the process of raising money. \"We have investors saying, 'You're asking too small a ticket, we only write $100 million-plus tickets,'\" Dimitrova told CNBC.\nSome investors have \"very limited understanding\" of OpenPayd's software, which lets other companies offer financial services, but are making offers \"simply because it's now the space to be in.\"\nFintech companies represented 22% of global venture funding in the second quarter, according to CB Insights.\n\"Investors are increasingly writing higher and higher checks,\" Dimitrova continued. \"Frankly, I see that as detrimental to the long-term sustainability of our industry because businesses are not focused on generating value, they're focused on burning and deploying cash.\"\nA low interest rate environment has led to a huge amount of \"dry powder\" being deployed in risky venture bets, she added.\nEurope's tech boom\nThere are a number of differences between today and the dot-com bubble of 1999, according to Kanji. For one, the bubble of '99 was driven far more by \"hype\" than fundamentals, he said, whereas now \"the markets are there and the companies are there.\"\nAnother trend is \"bootstrapped\" firms which raised no external investment before announcing sizable first funding rounds. U.S. software firm Articulate, which was founded in 2002,announceda $1.5 billion Series A round at the start of July.\nMeanwhile, though Europe has long lagged behind America and China on tech, the continent has seen a significant increase in start-up investment. Europe saw huge growth in venture investment this year, whereas funding to China-based companies declined.\n\"This whole remote work trend has accelerated digital transformation, and has also brought European companies access to global markets,\" Brasoveanu said. \"You can sell on Zoom just as well from Romania as you would in New York.\"\nStart-ups in Europe raised nearly $50 billion in the first six months of 2021,surpassingthe $38 billion raised by firms in the continent in all of 2020, according to Factset. A number of European tech companies have seen their valuations climb to the tens of billions, including Swedish battery makerNorthvolt, buy-now-pay-later providerKlarnaand German enterprise software start-upCelonis.\nA number of European start-ups hit unicorn valuation in record time over the past year. Earlier this year,online grocery app Gorillasbecame the fastest company in Europe to reach unicorn status, beating a record previously set byonline events company Hopinin 2020.\nThe frenzy of private capital raising in tech has led to a growing pipeline of companies that look set to go public. The U.S. saw a flurry of major tech listings over the past year, includingAirbnbandCoinbase, while Britain last week hosted one of the biggest European floats of 2021 with theblockbuster direct listingof fintech firmWise.\nAnd the special purpose acquisition company, orSPAC, phenomenon has provided another alternative for high-growth firms thinking of making their public market debut. U.K. health tech firm Babylon, for example, is set to list through a merger with a blank-check company later this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":160,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":142471509,"gmtCreate":1626172652501,"gmtModify":1703754770051,"author":{"id":"3573855629971613","authorId":"3573855629971613","name":"Emillim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573855629971613","idStr":"3573855629971613"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow!","listText":"Wow!","text":"Wow!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/142471509","repostId":"1177300400","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":272,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":142471509,"gmtCreate":1626172652501,"gmtModify":1703754770051,"author":{"id":"3573855629971613","authorId":"3573855629971613","name":"Emillim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573855629971613","idStr":"3573855629971613"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow!","listText":"Wow!","text":"Wow!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/142471509","repostId":"1177300400","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1177300400","pubTimestamp":1626167696,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1177300400?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-13 17:14","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Temasek Posts 25% Return, Most in 11 Years on Equities Rally","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1177300400","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- Temasek Holdings Pte posted its biggest annual return since 2010 after the Singapore ","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- Temasek Holdings Pte posted its biggest annual return since 2010 after the Singapore state investor benefited from a rally in global equities.</p>\n<p>The 25% gain for the fiscal year ended March 31 marks a turnaround from the previous year, when Temasek reported a 2.3% drop after the pandemic triggered a market meltdown. Since then, equity markets have breached record highs as major economies start to re-open.</p>\n<p>“We expect the global economy to recover steadily,” said Temasek International Managing Director Fock Wai Hoong, adding that the pace of recovery was uneven thanks to differing vaccine rollouts. “In addition, uncertainty remains around the virulence of new Covid-19 variants and there’s added geopolitical uncertainty as tensions continue between China and the U.S.”</p>\n<p>Temasek joins other global funds and investors posting outsized gains as economies recover from the deep recessions of 2020. Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund booked a record 25% return on its investments for the year ended in March, while a Kuwaiti sovereign savings fund had a 33% gain over the same period.</p>\n<p>Temasek’s net portfolio value stands at S$381 billion ($282 billion), up from S$306 billion a year earlier. China remains its biggest market with investments making up 27% of the portfolio, followed by Singapore at 24%. The Americas accounted for the largest share of new investments during the year, and now make up 20% of the portfolio. The firm’s 10-year annualized return rose to 7%.</p>\n<p>“Last year because we have a March cycle, markets were down at the time, they’re in a better place now, so the public portfolio has done well,” Temasek International joint head of North America Mukul Chawla said. “But so have a number of our private companies,” as a number of those have benefited from public listings.</p>\n<p>The improved performance comes despite several of Temasek’s best-known investments facing substantial hurdles. It’s had to buy billions of dollars worth of Singapore Airlines Ltd.’s convertible bonds amid a plunge in travel that led to a record loss of $3.2 billion last year.

Since then, equity markets have breached record highs as major economies start to re-open.\n“We expect the global economy to recover steadily,” said Temasek International Managing Director Fock Wai Hoong, adding that the pace of recovery was uneven thanks to differing vaccine rollouts. “In addition, uncertainty remains around the virulence of new Covid-19 variants and there’s added geopolitical uncertainty as tensions continue between China and the U.S.”\nTemasek joins other global funds and investors posting outsized gains as economies recover from the deep recessions of 2020. Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund booked a record 25% return on its investments for the year ended in March, while a Kuwaiti sovereign savings fund had a 33% gain over the same period.\nTemasek’s net portfolio value stands at S$381 billion ($282 billion), up from S$306 billion a year earlier. China remains its biggest market with investments making up 27% of the portfolio, followed by Singapore at 24%. The Americas accounted for the largest share of new investments during the year, and now make up 20% of the portfolio. The firm’s 10-year annualized return rose to 7%.\n“Last year because we have a March cycle, markets were down at the time, they’re in a better place now, so the public portfolio has done well,” Temasek International joint head of North America Mukul Chawla said. “But so have a number of our private companies,” as a number of those have benefited from public listings.\nThe improved performance comes despite several of Temasek’s best-known investments facing substantial hurdles. It’s had to buy billions of dollars worth of Singapore Airlines Ltd.’s convertible bonds amid a plunge in travel that led to a record loss of $3.2 billion last year. Still, the airline’s shares rebounded 37% in Temasek’s fiscal year.\nTemasek also faces headwinds in China, where it’s focused on technology, fintech and wealth management. An expected windfall from its backing of Ant Group Co. failed to materialize when its listing was halted in November.\nTemasek is also an investor in ride-hailing app Didi Global Inc., which saw its share price plummet days after it listed in New York when Chinese regulators ordered it off local app stores.\nInvestments in financial services including BlackRock Inc. and Visa Inc. now represent 24% of the portfolio, up from 23% in 2020, followed by telecommunications, media and technology businesses at 21%. Unlisted deals, which made up 48% of assets last year, now stand at 45%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":272,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":142471461,"gmtCreate":1626172684253,"gmtModify":1703754769729,"author":{"id":"3573855629971613","authorId":"3573855629971613","name":"Emillim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573855629971613","idStr":"3573855629971613"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/142471461","repostId":"1156380405","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1156380405","pubTimestamp":1626167015,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1156380405?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-13 17:03","market":"uk","language":"en","title":"‘This feels like 1999’: Global start-up funding frenzy fuels fears of a bubble","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156380405","media":"CNBC","summary":"In March last year, a top venture capital firm described Covid-19 as the \"black swan of 2020.\"\n\"Priv","content":"<div>\n<p>In March last year, a top venture capital firm described Covid-19 as the \"black swan of 2020.\"\n\"Private financings could soften significantly, as happened in 2001 and 2009,\" Sequoia Capital told ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/13/startup-funding-vc-dotcom-bubble.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Good Times\" presentation in the 2008 crisis.\nFast forward to July 2021, and tech investors are writing bigger checks than ever. According to CB Insights, start-ups have raised $292.4 billion globally so far this year, on track to beat the $302.6 billion raised throughout 2020.\nThe number of so-called \"mega rounds\" — massive, $100 million-plus venture deals — has climbed to 751 in 2021 year-to-date, already beating the 665 mega rounds that were raised last year.\n\"This feels a lot like 1999 to me,\" Hussein Kanji, a partner at U.K. venture capital firm Hoxton Ventures, told CNBC. \"You had so much supply, so much enthusiasm.\"\n\"There was an era where if you put dot-com in your name, your public market stock would go up,\" he added. \"There was so much enthusiasm for catching the next big thing.\"\n\nDot-com companies were all the rage on Wall Street in the late 1990s, amid growing adoption of the internet. Speculative investing fueled a 400% climb in theNasdaq Compositestock market index between 1995 and 2000. By October 2002, it had plunged almost 80% from its peak.\nIn the past five years, the Nasdaq has nearly tripled, with the market values of several large-cap tech stocks, includingAmazon,GoogleandFacebook, crossing the $1 trillion mark.MicrosoftandAppleare currently worth more than $2 trillion.\nNow, skyrocketing valuations of private tech firms are causing concern for some investors. U.S. payments processor Stripe wasvalued at a whopping $95 billionin March, illustrating the growing trend of start-ups staying private for longer.\nA record 249 firms achieved $1 billion \"unicorn\" valuations in the first half of 2021, according to CB Insights, almost double the number of unicorns produced during the course of last year.\n\n\"It's a great time to fundraise as an entrepreneur,\" Andrei Brasoveanu, partner at venture capital firm Accel, told CNBC. \"The quality of companies and the speed at which these companies grow is just unprecedented.\"\nThe 'FOMO' factor\nTiger Global, a hedge fund known for its bets on pre-IPO tech companies, has gained a much larger presence in venture capital lately. Meanwhile, Japanese conglomerate SoftBank hasshaken up the world of start-up investingin recent years with its massive Vision Fund.\nThe increased competition in venture dealmaking hasn't gone unnoticed by investors. Private tech valuations are getting \"more and more distant from reality\" due to a \"fear of missing out,\" Hoxton Ventures' Kanji said.\nIana Dimitrova, CEO of U.K. fintech start-up OpenPayd, said her firm is in the process of raising money. \"We have investors saying, 'You're asking too small a ticket, we only write $100 million-plus tickets,'\" Dimitrova told CNBC.\nSome investors have \"very limited understanding\" of OpenPayd's software, which lets other companies offer financial services, but are making offers \"simply because it's now the space to be in.\"\nFintech companies represented 22% of global venture funding in the second quarter, according to CB Insights.\n\"Investors are increasingly writing higher and higher checks,\" Dimitrova continued. \"Frankly, I see that as detrimental to the long-term sustainability of our industry because businesses are not focused on generating value, they're focused on burning and deploying cash.\"\nA low interest rate environment has led to a huge amount of \"dry powder\" being deployed in risky venture bets, she added.\nEurope's tech boom\nThere are a number of differences between today and the dot-com bubble of 1999, according to Kanji. For one, the bubble of '99 was driven far more by \"hype\" than fundamentals, he said, whereas now \"the markets are there and the companies are there.\"\nAnother trend is \"bootstrapped\" firms which raised no external investment before announcing sizable first funding rounds. U.S. software firm Articulate, which was founded in 2002,announceda $1.5 billion Series A round at the start of July.\nMeanwhile, though Europe has long lagged behind America and China on tech, the continent has seen a significant increase in start-up investment. Europe saw huge growth in venture investment this year, whereas funding to China-based companies declined.\n\"This whole remote work trend has accelerated digital transformation, and has also brought European companies access to global markets,\" Brasoveanu said. \"You can sell on Zoom just as well from Romania as you would in New York.\"\nStart-ups in Europe raised nearly $50 billion in the first six months of 2021,surpassingthe $38 billion raised by firms in the continent in all of 2020, according to Factset. A number of European tech companies have seen their valuations climb to the tens of billions, including Swedish battery makerNorthvolt, buy-now-pay-later providerKlarnaand German enterprise software start-upCelonis.\nA number of European start-ups hit unicorn valuation in record time over the past year. Earlier this year,online grocery app Gorillasbecame the fastest company in Europe to reach unicorn status, beating a record previously set byonline events company Hopinin 2020.\nThe frenzy of private capital raising in tech has led to a growing pipeline of companies that look set to go public. The U.S. saw a flurry of major tech listings over the past year, includingAirbnbandCoinbase, while Britain last week hosted one of the biggest European floats of 2021 with theblockbuster direct listingof fintech firmWise.\nAnd the special purpose acquisition company, orSPAC, phenomenon has provided another alternative for high-growth firms thinking of making their public market debut. U.K. health tech firm Babylon, for example, is set to list through a merger with a blank-check company later this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":160,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
