Navigating Capital Raising Challenges in Venture Capital As we reflect on the evolving landscape of venture capital, a key takeaway stands out: the challenges in raising capital amidst limited market liquidity. Uncork Capital’s insights from their 20-year journey reveal a cautious approach, especially in a market where liquidity is sparse. Seed funds face a 'rude awakening', with many possibly shrinking due to the drying up of non-institutional sources of capital. Venture firms must adapt, focusing on sustainable investments and understanding market dynamics to navigate these uncertain times effectively. Another thing VC firms need to consider is competition in the AI realm and how quickly new updates and products are being released, and how that can affect their investments in AI startups. I think in the face of rapid AI advancements and seemingly limited funding sources, VC firms must critically assess the unique value propositions of AI startups. The swift release of new updates and products in AI can quickly alter the competitive landscape, potentially endangering earlier investments if not navigated wisely. #ArtificialIntelligence #PrivateEquity #VentureCapital #Investing #Innovation #AI #Startups #VC #Marketdynamics

Leading the global Energy Transition and Utilities Customer Sector Capability Team and Head of Retail Utilities and Central Markets in the UK
I see the investor interest in the Energy Transition and Utilities sector being especially high….
Great that investors are reviving enthusiasm for European tech start-ups, according to Financial Times. https://shorturl.at/07xK4 I’m pleased that we’re seeing more support for tech closer to home. We all have a role to play in supporting the start-up community and encouraging innovation. Innovation is not something that can happen independently, it needs a thriving ecosystem that offers partnerships and investment initiatives for large organisations and cutting-edge start-ups alike. At Capgemini, as part of our open innovation strategy, we’ve launched Capgemini Ventures to focus on exactly this, to co-create new innovations, ideas and solutions and deliver value with startups, clients and tech partners. #Start-ups #Innovation #Partnership

🚀 2024 was a record year for AI startups in the UK and Europe. James Wise shares more insights 👇
“AI startups captured 25 per cent of all UK venture capital funding in 2024, totalling $15.9bn (£12.8bn) and up 400% since 2020” This is from our report before Christmas in which I argue that the death of the UK & Europe’s tech ecosystem is greatly exaggerated.
