We are experiencing exceptionally turbulent times with macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. Some sectors and startups are struggling to adapt to the post-corona era. Others have been surprised by the sudden end of the low interest era. But many are also thriving and have been able to pivot and adjust to the market.
Both the tech and impact sectors are experiencing choppy waters with adjusted valuations, at the same time as the demand for disruptive technology, digital transformation and the shift to more sustainable digital business models has never been more important/relevant. The ongoing debate about growth at all costs vs value investing and impact investing continues.
The big questions remain: What are the next extreme bets in uncertain times? Which opportunities will arise for the most ambitious investors and startups?
