Here is a report on 1H 2024 Startup trend report. https://lnkd.in/e-u3zd5D While my perspective may be influenced by sample bias, I've personally observed a growing trend among startups in Japan. There's a noticeable shift towards aiming higher—choosing to scale as private companies or viewing an IPO as the start of the journey rather than the end, and increasingly eyeing global markets. This cultural shift is exciting and indicative of a maturing startup ecosystem. Here are some key points from the report in English. 1. Overall Fundraising: Total startup fundraising in the first half of 2024 (January to June) amounted to 325.3 billion yen, slightly down from 335.4 billion yen in the same period in 2023. The number of companies raising funds increased by 14% year-on-year, with 1,411 companies involved. 2. Shift to Seed and Early Stage: There was a notable shift in investment towards seed and early-stage startups, with large-scale later-stage fundraising declining. The average fundraising amount per company was 270 million yen, while the median rose by 55% to 83.6 million yen, indicating a shift in distribution towards smaller fundraising amounts. 3. Top Companies: The largest fundraising in H1 2024 was by Tier IV, which raised 8.5 billion yen in a Series B extension round for its autonomous driving software. Spiber, a company developing synthetic protein materials, raised over 10 billion yen for scaling production and global expansion. 4. Focus on Experienced Entrepreneurs: There is a growing trend of funding being concentrated on startups led by experienced entrepreneurs, especially in seed and early stages. Notable examples include Turing, which focuses on fully autonomous vehicles, and Orange, which is developing deep learning models for manga translation. 5. Diverse Fundraising Methods: A new trend in H1 2024 was the use of the J-Ships system, allowing non-public companies to raise funds from specific investors, contributing to the diversification of fundraising methods. Debt financing also remained active, with a total of 88.8 billion yen raised by 156 companies. 6. Investor trends: VC was the largest contributor to funds, followed by corporate investors. There was an increase in the number of new funds over 10 billion yen, with a total of 51 new funds established in H1 2024, amounting to 232.1 billion yen. 7. IPO and M&A Activity: The IPO market remained sluggish with 60 IPOs, of which 22 were startups. The median market cap at IPO fell to 7.7 billion yen. M&A activity increased, with 92 acquisitions or subsidiary formations and 33 business transfers, indicating that startups are increasingly opting for M&A as an exit strategy. 8.Government and Corporate Support: Significant government support continues to bolster the startup ecosystem, including tax reforms, funding from public institutions, and the promotion of public procurement for startups. #Japanbusiness #Japanmarket #startup

What has changed for medical investment in China during this “Capital Winter”? I was in Korea last week but didn’t miss out on the Gaorong Capital高榕资本’s Annual Healthcare CEO Conference & Demo Day in Shanghai. It’s a close-door event hosted by Gao Rong, a leading VC in China, attended by representatives from their healthcare portfolio companies, LPs, and other investment partners. It was a great opportunity to share my thoughts on why Chinese healthcare innovators need a mindset shift to achieve their Go Global aspirations. It was also a valuable learning experience for me. Here are a few takeaways from the event: 1️⃣ New Opportunities in the “Capital Winter”: While people are talking about the "capital winter" in China, funding is still available there, and it's still more substantial compared to many other parts of the world. However, new IPO regulations have made exits significantly harder, leading investors to become more cautious and selective. They are increasingly exploring alternative opportunities, such as overseas deals and acquisitions of corporate assets. 2️⃣ Survival of the Fittest: Biotech companies that once saw big investments in China are now facing tough times for the subsequent rounds due to IPO challenges. Only those with strong resilience and adaptation are likely to survive, while others may disappear. This may not be a bad thing, as it's a natural process to eliminate excess and encourage more rational competition. 3️⃣ Increased Focus on Commercial Viability: With IPOs becoming difficult, investors are paying more attention to the commercial growth of their companies. They’re helping with business development, fundraising, and even global expansion. No one knows how long this "winter" will last, but investors are finding creative ways to support their portfolio companies and each other.  🌍 It’s all about adapting and staying strong! To all the Chinese healthcare investors and innovators out there – 加油! #Healthcare #Investment #Biotech #BusinessGrowth #China

Taiwan's Next Tech Giant: Champion of the Taiwan Startup World Cup Heading to Silicon Valley for Investment Today, the 2024 Taiwan Startup World Cup (TSWC) took place, and Jmem Technology Co., Ltd. emerged as the winner. In October, they will represent Taiwan in the US, competing with teams from over 70 countries for a chance to secure $1 million in investment. Biotechnology covers a wide range of fields, including healthcare, agriculture, and food. Recently, Jensen Huang visited Taiwan and highlighted that the future with the greatest potential is the intersection of life sciences and AI. Taiwan already excels in information and semiconductor industries. For the past 30 years, Taiwan's greatest economic growth driver and its most significant contribution to the world has been making computing and processing affordable and accessible. Currently, healthcare remains a complex and expensive field globally. If Taiwan can integrate medical science with computing in the next phase, it will be another world-leading development for the nation. The Bio Asia Conference serves as a platform for collaboration, especially crucial for biotechnology, which spans various fields and requires diverse connections. This collaboration with the Taiwan Startup World Cup aims to create synergistic effects, providing a stronger growth engine for biotechnology. #TaiwanStartupWorldCup #Biotechnology #AI #JmemTechnology #Innovation #Investment #SiliconValley

Accounting for 40% of global carbon dioxide emissions, of which roughly 70% is generated from building operations, the remaining 30% comes from the construction, real estate sector is nowadays one of the most polluting industries. With such environmental burden, a significant change in the real estate sector to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions is not only urgent to sustain the industry but also to respond to the surging decarbonising demands from relevant industries. The special feature in the latest issue of Robb Report Vietnam raised an interesting question of whether decarbonising real estate will be just a momentary trend or set a future standard for the industry? The feature also our Premium Estates concept as a prime example of how we approach sustainability throughout our development practices, which will be beneficial for not only our zero-carbon roadmap but also for businesses who share the same sustainable goal. Speaking with Robb Report Vietnam, Edwin Tan, Deputy CEO at Frasers Property Vietnam shared: “We are committed to constantly elevating our premium industrial estates to provide optimal solutions for businesses, bringing new estate experiences, creating innovative working and living environments, and ultimately contributing to promoting Vietnam's economic growth.” Read more at the link below. #sustainability #green #realestates #RobbReport

Dear Colleagues and Esteemed Guests, I am pleased to announce that I will be delivering a lecture on global Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) trends. It is important to note that in Japan, the concept of CVC investment in startups is not widely comprehended, primarily due to its somewhat ambiguous positioning within the business landscape. Despite this lack of clarity, numerous CVC funds were established approximately 4-5 years ago. However, I must candidly acknowledge that many of these funds are currently facing significant challenges. In my professional opinion, it would be highly beneficial for the startup ecosystem if we could effectively utilize CVC, working towards a mutually advantageous situation for all parties involved. Nevertheless, in the current volatile economic climate, many enterprises are understandably hesitant to make investments. I believe this reluctance stems from a pronounced asymmetry of information, which has led to a certain rigidity in decision-making processes. In this lecture, I intend to address the challenges associated with collaborating with overseas startups and discuss recent market trends. I will draw upon my personal experiences to provide insights, primarily targeting enterprises that remain cautious about engaging in open innovation with startups.I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, but please be advised that this lecture will be conducted exclusively in Japanese. For those who require language assistance, we kindly suggest utilizing a simultaneous interpretation tool to facilitate your participation. Thank you for your understanding and interest in this topic. I look forward to sharing these insights with you. https://lnkd.in/enzyCXnT

E107 In this episode of Fireside with a VC, we discuss scenario planning for China & Asia and the relationship with Silicon Valley. We explore future opportunities with Francis Bassolino, Managing Director of Alaris Consulting, who has been helping companies of all sizes enter, succeed in, and exit China over a span of 30+ years. Francis is also an adjunct professor at The University of Chicago Booth School of Business in Shanghai and Chicago. Having lived in Shanghai for over 21 years and in China since 1988, he brings extensive insights into the region. Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gdseyc2d. Find all episodes of Fireside with a VC on your favorite podcast platform: https://lnkd.in/gtzuxjJh. We delve into the history of what has happened and the opening of China up to today. We also look at different scenarios such as an invasion of Taiwan, a blockade of Taiwan, no invasion or blockade, China with no reforms, with reforms, and the potential for a return to high growth in China. We examine how these different scenarios will impact the greater Asia region and the West. Our discussion includes the relationship between China and Russia, particularly days before Russia invaded Ukraine when Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin announced their partnership has “no limits” and vowed to deepen cooperation on various fronts, including the Russia-Ukraine war. We talk about the bargain between the Chinese people happily giving up civil liberties for a prosperous life and 10% growth consistently over decades. We also cover the impact of recent oppressive COVID-19 lockdowns, the period of low growth, the lack of job opportunities for the youth, and the generation of young Chinese not getting married, having children, or working in post-Jack Ma China. Is the Chinese economy in a freefall now? Furthermore, we discuss the evolving relationship between Silicon Valley and China, what it might look like in the future, and different scenarios and opportunities for Western companies to grow revenues and lower costs with the Chinese partnership.
