🌍 What will happen to capital markets in the future? 💵 And what about the more fragile (and risky) venture investment sector? According to thebell.co.kr, Venture fundraising in Korea peaked in recent years, with unprecedented liquidity flowing to startups: ₩4.08 trillion in 2019, ₩5.9047 trillion in 2020, ₩6.5023 trillion in 2021, and a record ₩6.9772 trillion in 2022. However, this figure dropped significantly to ₩5.0831 trillion in 2023 and further to ₩3.7402 trillion in 2024, returning to pre-2019 levels. Compared to the peak in 2022, nearly half of the funding has disappeared. This decline helps explain why startups are experiencing a "funding winter" and why many small to medium-sized venture capital (VC) firms are struggling to sustain operations. On the flip side, some analysts suggest that 2024 and 2025 may offer rare opportunities for "good vintages" from an investment execution perspective. An interesting article in the New York Times at the start of the year was titled: "Investors Needn't Panic Over Potential Market Turmoil." It provided a simulation analysis of how retirees who allocated $500,000 into a 60% stock and 40% bond portfolio performed as of October 31, 2024, depending on their actions during the COVID-19 period: 📗 Investor 1: Retained their investments and reinvested dividends, achieving a portfolio value of $741,670. 📘 Investor 2: Panicked and liquidated all assets on March 16, 2020, resulting in a portfolio value of $471,514. 📙 Investor 3: Panicked, liquidated on March 16, 2020, but reinvested at the end of May, achieving a portfolio value of $625,843. The article concluded: "Doing nothing is usually the wisest course of (in)action." For venture capital, particularly impact investing, this offers a similar insight. "Doing nothing" doesn't mean holding back on investments or becoming overly cautious simply because the market is in a downturn. Just as in 2024, when 63 investments were made, MYSC plans to execute at least that many in 2025. There’s no reason to panic. For impact investors with a long-term perspective, 2025 looks to be an even more exciting year. 🌍 Extra Mile Acceleration, MYSC’s flagship acceleration/investment program, is now accepting applications until 10:00 AM, January 6.

Thank you "Liberator of the Occident"! You have tried to make people aware of part of the TRUTH in the first part of the video! I would cut out Elon Musk eulogies here ... that is another story which I don't want to elaborate here. Then in the second part you said that anyone can also work hard and do this. You are NAIVE! As one rich person said to me: "YOU NEED TO KNOW ANOTHER RICH PERSON TO SUCCEED". What he meant was it is a GANG and you will not be part of it unless we allow. This is contradictory to having any skill or knowledge or ability or spirituality! Therefore: Last part -> contradicts -> First part Anyway the point is that higher beings know that the economic system was part of hegemony BUT THIS SYSTEM DID NOT GAIN POWER AND ACCEPTABILITY BECAUSE OF THIS! When something gains power it is somehow SOLD to the public, just like politicians sell themselves ... I said before power is gained through a LIE i.e. to present a fair system up front to the public and twiddle the knobs at the back-end to gain control. The point of godly judgment then is to FEED THE LIE BACK INTO SATAN'S THROAT! The key is to find out how many people will have their lives upended before SATAN (Mammon) blurts out the truth and bows before the power of God! God wants TOTAL SUBSERVIENCE and this subservience is equivalent to FREEDOM! (these concepts of Soul Theory are very difficult to explain ... sorry I did my best.)

END OF THE J-CURVE ECLIPSE When on April 8th the moon went past that moment of total eclipse, a world that had just experienced a disruption in the pattern of day was again returned to the natural state- the sun rises in the East, falls in the West, and in between it shines however much clouds will allow. Clearly, the disruption of venture investment valuations represented by the ZIRP (Zero Interest Rate Policy) period has also passed. Like an eclipse, ZIRP suspended the natural state of the J-Curve for a brief period. But as that moon and its shocks have moved aside, funds are raising capital again, valuations have fallen to normal levels, and in between stricter standards for start-up investment are clouding funding opportunity. The eclipse is over. Mindfulness of the J-Curve has returned to investment. Please FOLLOW ME so you don’t miss my upcoming post… #venture, #startup, #strategy, #disruption
