MARKET DYNAMICS
The global market dynamics is changing…
​
According to McKinsey & Co., the average lifespan of public companies listed in the S&P 500 has decreased from 90 years in 1935 to 16 years in 2016. While the startup market is even more competitive, figures show that up to 99% of tech startups do not pass the first year mark. Most startups have unique concepts and products, however, they may not necessarily have the professional support in financial management, sales and market development or operation execution.
Meanwhile, in 2017, global venture capital funding was US$164 billion across 11,042 deals, with funding increased nearly 50 per cent from the previous year Among the regions, the funding in Asia doubled while the US market increased 17 per cent.
​
Therefore, having a close partner who understands your business, to walk with you, guide you through the startup the struggles and get you ready to meet a VC for their support is crucial.
