But the holidays remind us to pause and appreciate the foundations that make all of this possible: the loved ones who ground us, the moments that recharge us, and the values we pass on to those who come next. We look forward to reconnecting in the new year, refreshed and ready to tackle the challenges and opportunities ahead.

  • Europe's Deeptech rise - Bold, Bumpy and Brimming with Potential!

    View profile for Leesa S., graphic

    Managing General Partner @ R3i Capital | Venture Capital | Independent Non Executive Director | Applied AI Investor | Philanthropy | Adjunct Faculty

    The #Deeptech Market: Bold, Bumpy & Brimming with Potential The allure of deeptech is undeniable. Forget app fads—deeptech is about solving problems that matter: quantum computing, AI, advanced materials, and synthetic biology. But here’s the catch: deeptech isn’t headline fuel; it’s a capital-heavy, endurance-based play for those with a high pain tolerance and a longer time horizon. 🧬 1. Deeptech Isn’t for Instant Gratification In SaaS, a lousy week means tweaking code. Deeptech? Try years of R&D, regulatory hurdles, and breakthroughs. In 2023, European deeptech pulled in €18B VC funding, with public backing as essential non-dilutive fuel. Deeptech founders in Europe don’t just compete—they survive. Government support turns deeptech from risky to a long-term play on EU’s economic independence. 💸 2. Europe’s Bet on Deeptech: Bold or Just Necessary? With the US and China monopolizing the big stages in AI and quantum, Europe is placing its chips on climate tech and advanced materials. That’s not bravery; it’s existential. In 2024, Europe poured €10.3 billion into AI and machine learning, a 24% uptick from last year. But exits? A rollercoaster. Total exits hit €26.2 billion in Q3, but they were propped up by mega-IPOs like Puig in Southern Europe. Europe’s deeptech scene is a blend of conviction and necessity, a fact that’s not lost on investors. 🚀 3. Deep Pockets, Patient Gains Deeptech investors aren’t your typical adrenaline junkies; we are marathoners. And patience is paying off—deeptech-focused funds are pulling in an average net IRR of 16%, well above traditional tech’s 10%. The takeaway? Cash out early, and you’re probably leaving money on the table. Sequoia’s “evergreen fund” model could become the standard for deeptech. Deeptech isn’t for the impatient; it’s for those who understand that real value compounds over time. 📊 4. The Valuation Puzzle Deal values for AI and ML in Europe are holding steady, but the honeymoon phase is cooling off for some sectors. Semiconductor valuations are finally re-aligning after 2023’s overblown peaks. Meanwhile, frontier labs like Anthropic and Cohere are still pushing sky-high revenue multiples, some over 30x ARR. Europe’s climate and healthtech markets remain in the spotlight, but the days of sky-high rounds may be on the decline. #️⃣ 5. The Grind - Europe's deeptech market shows resilience amidst shifting investment dynamics. - AI & Machine Learning: AI investments surge, €10.3B YTD, indicating strong investor confidence. - Cleantech: Cleantech funding declines, €6.2B YTD, reflecting investor caution. - Exits: European exits rise to €26.2B, driven by large IPOs. - Venture Growth Stage: Venture growth funding stable, €7.6B, mature sectors outperforming early-stage. TL;DR: Deeptech isn’t for the faint-hearted or the short-sighted. But for those who can stomach the risk, the upside isn’t just financial—it’s transformational. #Europe is building a new industrial age, one breakthrough at a time.

    10 things you need to know from the #GIIN 2024 Report 1. Impact Assets Are Growing Fast The impact investing market has expanded at a 14% CAGR over the last five years. Investors are doubling down on impact strategies, signaling a maturing market learning to scale while keeping purpose at the core. 2. Equity-Like Debt is on the Rise We’re seeing a significant shift in capital deployment strategies, with equity-like debt growing at a 104% CAGR over five years. This hybrid instrument is gaining traction as investors look for flexible returns while achieving impact. 3. Financial Returns are Solid, Even When Expectations Aren’t Met Investors report high satisfaction with financial performance, even when targets fall short. It’s clear: impact isn’t just about doing good—it’s about doing well financially, too. 4. Impact Measurement is Still a Headache Nearly 28% of investors struggle to compare their impact results with peers. We need more standardization and transparency to benchmark what’s working in impact management. 5. Blended Finance Is Key Blended finance is becoming a vital tool in the impact space. By mixing concessional and commercial capital, investors are unlocking new opportunities and driving more money toward high-impact initiatives. 6. Impact Investors Are Resilient Despite macroeconomic turbulence, inflation, and rising interest rates, impact investors have shown resilience. They’re not just riding the wave of change—they’re leading it. 7. The U.S. and Europe Dominate 70% of impact assets are allocated to the U.S. and Western Europe, highlighting a heavy concentration in developed markets, while emerging markets struggle to secure significant capital. 8. Housing and ICT Are Hot Sectors Impact investments in housing and information technology are seeing explosive growth—CAGRs of 35% and 39%, respectively—indicating where investors believe the next big social and financial returns lie. 9. Climate Action is Front and Center 69% of investors are focused on mitigating climate change, with sectors like #energy and #agriculture drawing the lion’s share of investments. Impact investors are ready to tackle the climate crisis head-on. 10. Regulatory Uncertainty Hurts! Confusion around #regulatoryframeworks continues to plague investors. The alphabet soup of standards, frameworks, and regulations makes it harder than it needs to be. As impact investing grows, governments must create clear, consistent rules, especially for private markets - and especially across borders. #ImpactInvesting #GIIN2024 #Sustainability #InvestingForGood R3I CAPITAL#ClimateFinance #HousingCrisis #FinancialReturns #BlendedFinance #ESG

    How do people 'learn' Venture Capital? Well, as it turns out, there are more than 40 programs out there. In this article I map the global landscape and split them into VC: Education vs. Acceleration. Education: Classrooms, executive programs, focus on learning the skills of the trade. Acceleration: In the field, doing the work, getting support, coaching and networks to play in your favor. Able to move and learn 10X faster vs. not having the accelerator support. I identify 40, but I am also sure I am missing plenty. Please use the comment and tell me which programs; both education and acceleration I am missing.
