How ICOs and Blockchain are reshaping the Traditional Venture Capital IndustryWhy is it that we can not find dozens of Unicorns in Emerging Markets and why is it that an angel investor in emerging markets has no real clue on how he will exit the startup investment
It seems that we are dealing in those cases with an act of faith rather than an ROI aproach
Angel investors in Emerging markets are people of Faith …:)
As an angel investor in startup at emerging markets for almost 15 years I find out that there is a reason why we can not have those same results that we are seeing day by day with unicorns in developed countries
It shows up that there is a very strong correlation between dynamics of entrepreneurial ecosystems and capital markets depth . In those countries where we can find a profound capital market, the dynamism of the startup ecosystem is very strong , unicorns , scalable startups , exit strategies etc
In emerging markets were capital markets are very weak we will also see a weak startup ecosystem mainly in regards to risk investment , exit strategies, unicorns, scalabale startups , follow ons etc
ICOs and blockchain technology will change once and forever the Traditional Venture Industry
As a practical example i would suggest to check
www.Mangostartups.com , first ICO that is backed by a Seed Capital Fund that invests in Latin American Startups
Through this ICO , investors gain access to a diversified portfolio of actively developed and promising startups in the venture market with a clear exit strategy through wallets and exchanges on blockchain platforms
As I mentioned , Blockchain technology gives a great oportunity to reshape the traditional venture capital industry .
Mangostartups ICO is a game changer in the venture industry allowing clear exit strategies , diversifying risk trough a portfolio aproach investment in a group of startups rather than picking and individual potential winner .
Life is changing !!! Welcome to the new ride in the Venture Industry
