VCs say tech investing is ‘tough’ amid IPO lull and ‘nuts’ AI hype
SHARE

The venture capital industry is facing tough times, with a lack of blockbuster IPOs and M&A activities draining liquidity from the market. Edith Yeung, a general partner at Race Capital, and Larry Aschebrook, founder of G Squared, discussed these challenges at the Web Summit tech conference in Lisbon.

Yeung emphasized the importance of liquidity in the VC world, stating that the lack of IPOs in recent years has made it difficult for investors to cash out their long-term bets. Liquidity allows stakeholders to realize gains or losses on their investments, making it a crucial factor in the success of a venture capital firm.

On the other hand, there has been a surge of interest in AI startups, particularly those backed by Big Tech companies like Microsoft. Yeung pointed out the dominance of firms like OpenAI, which has reached a staggering $157 billion valuation with the support of major tech players.

Aschebrook echoed Yeung’s concerns about the lack of liquidity in the market, noting that the IPO market is stagnant. Despite the rise of funding rounds for AI companies like OpenAI, investors are struggling to find opportunities to sell their shares and generate returns.

Both investors expressed optimism about opportunities beyond the AI sector, highlighting areas like cybersecurity, enterprise software, and crypto. Yeung mentioned Race Capital’s focus on long-term investments in sectors other than AI, while Aschebrook praised the growth of cybersecurity firm Wiz, a key portfolio investment for G Squared.

In conclusion, the venture capital landscape is evolving, with investors seeking new opportunities in diverse sectors. While the challenges of liquidity persist, there is optimism about the potential for growth and innovation in the coming years.
