Stories and Insights

 

Supply AND demand: All markets rely on flow. In the financing realm it’s not just the availability of funds, but the flow of potential deals that matters. This is a great play by play on the pre and shutdown flows. 


Life’s a beach? The exodus from large expensive city centers might be continuing as remote is embraced. But the magic of getting together with a diverse bunch of entrepreneurs may be an unappreciated asset. 

 

Southeast Asia:  Indonesian ride-hailing and payment firm, Gojek, is making waves and getting noticed with both Facebook and PayPal announcing investment.  Want more on the impact opp?  ADB has published research from SMEs on the impact that human capital has on global supply chains.

 

17% of the depression: A mere 17% of fintech founders are women, and they receive a small amount of funding, but that’s in the process of changing. 

 

Bot it: In some spaces, automation is a gift, and retail is one of them. Here are four places to take advantage of, and number four is the money. 

 

Unbanked citizens in need:  The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that Africa’s informal economy is one of the world’s largest, offering fintech startups a huge market opp to tap from Cape town to Nairobi.

 

Smokin’: Elin Musk is many things. Brash. A little crazy. A genius. The lesson, is an audacious goal, useful mistakes and a singular purpose can lead to extraordinary achievements. 

 

Bitknox: Trading + custody + Insurance =the total crypto package.

 

Imaginary NBA: Remember Crypto Kitties? I do. I saw the release announcement, and it was memorable. They went on to crash the Ethereum network...now they are into NBA collectables.

 

Surprising discovery: The recent lockdown appears to have uncovered a surprising new discovery. Ongoing learning is actually important. Who knew? 

 

The funding conundrum: Anyone who has been at a company that went public knows the pull of the stock price when it happens. It’s a distraction. So when a founder tells you that your billion dollar valuation should be a time to focus on the business, he knows what he’s talking about.
