Session details
Is it still worth investing in tech startups? Some investors are starting to become sceptical about tech startups: for every new productivity app, or the next uber of whatever app, there are already two or three competitors that already do similar things or, worse yet, Big Tech can replicate them in no time and drive them of business. Also, the (current or future) M&A environment may not be beneficial to achieve the intended exit valuations. Is the regulatory environment supporting international startup investments, or is regulation hindering investments? This panel will explore whether it is still a good idea to invest in a tech startup or if it’s time to start looking into other more traditional ventures, not necessarily involving “tech”, i.e., services, food, even cookies.
