Adrian Li, Founder & Managing Partner of AC Ventures, is featured in DealStreetAsia's latest report, SE Asia Tech M&A Review 2024. This comprehensive report explores the trends and dynamics of tech mergers and acquisitions in Southeast Asia, offering valuable insights into the sector's performance amidst global economic challenges. Adrian Li provides his expert insights into the current investment climate, highlighting a significant decline in tech M&A activity in Southeast Asia in 2023, with deal volumes dropping by over a third compared to the previous year. He discusses how economic uncertainty and rising interest rates have made investors more cautious, leading them to focus on sectors with nearer-term cashflow-positive businesses. Adrian also shares his optimistic outlook, expecting M&A activity to pick up within the next 12 to 24 months as interest rates come down and companies adjust to new geopolitical realities. 📈 Read the full report to stay informed about the latest trends and gain a strategic edge in the market via DealStreetAsia: https://lnkd.in/gSdzhPaq #southeastasia #techindustry #investmentinsights #mergersandacquisitions #techtrends

Off to Copenhagen this week! Can’t wait dive into discussions on the state of, and collaboration for Nordic emerging venture capital. One topic I'm eager to discuss is the value of Investor Relations  - as well as setting the right IR strategy. It's not just about names on an Excel sheet; it's about people who understand the (new) niche market of Venture Capital and how to market that to the right LPs. I’m also looking forward to discuss the downturn in exits, both industry exits and IPOs across Europe. How can we structure the Emerging Venture Capital landscape to achieve desired IRR? My bet is on smaller, niche, and expert & specialist GP teams - obviously with a great IR strategy. I will share insights when I am back! 💫 #venturecapital #emergingmanagers #innovation #investorrelations

Gone are the days of the "funding party" where speed trumped substance. According to Nicolas Sauvage, president of TDK Ventures, rigorous due diligence has made a remarkable comeback, with VCs spending more time and resources on thoroughly evaluating opportunities. This shift is a double-edged sword: • For founders, it means more scrutiny, but also a chance to truly showcase the strength of your business. 💪 • For investors, it's a return to the "yeoman's work" of venture capital, ensuring you make well-informed decisions. But at YOBE, we thrive in this new environment. 💫 In a world where "diligence is the new black," YOBE is your trusted partner, navigating the complexities of venture capital with unwavering transparency and passion. 🌟 Are you ready to rise above the noise and secure the funding you deserve? Connect with us today at https://buff.ly/3D22V4F and let's embark on a journey of strategic growth and success. 🚀 #VCDiligence #FoundersUnite #InvestorInsights #VentureCapital #BoutiqueInvesting #StrategicCapital #NicheInvesting #InvestmentExcellence

Interesting graphic below doing the rounds right now ... but it hides more than it shows. Is the money invested even from Australian VC 'pockets', and if so, how much? You know what would be even more interesting? A graph showing total value generated per US$1 billion invested. And the number of #Founders and companies who were able to #scale and build successful and #impactful companies. Is 300 x $150m companies a better outcome than 1.67 x unicorns? #metricsthatmatter #valuenotvanity
