Beyond Tech - Investment in Future Value. Starta Ventures Alexey Girin

This is our third annual report where we share our insider perspectives on the state of global Venture Capital and reflect on future trends. In 2019, we saw the market reaping a decade's worth of exit value with the highest number and valuations of IPOs since the dot.comboom of the 2000s. Sprinting into a new decade, Venture Capital is about to reinvent itself spreading to new areas of growth and opportunity. In this report we not only analyze VC trends 'as we know it' but also take a look at the contiguous area of Contemporary Art investment through a VC lense. This report may seem subjective as we base our predictions mostly on our own perception of the market based on what the stats show us. We believe numbers are good for analyzing the past, while day-to-day reflections and gut instincts work best in predicting the future. We hope you will enjoy this report, and if you have any questions or would like to discuss the ideas published here - don't hesitate to reach out to our team!
