Investing Across Borders

The global investment landscape is dynamic, influenced by technological advancements, economic trends, and geopolitical changes. While almost all markets are considered investable depending on who you ask, several have caught our eye. 

APAC

While most APAC based deals are not funded by US based investors, there has been some recent cross border activity worth noting. The recent growth capital raise in the Australian company ROLLER has been widely discussed due to its above market valuation. The growth capital from Insight Partners raised by ROLLER exemplifies the interest in technology-driven investments to enhance customer experiences in traditional attraction industries. Insight Partners' investment underscores their confidence in ROLLER's ability to disrupt the leisure and attractions sector and potentially signals increased interest in the APAC market.

​

In Southeast Asia, investor sentiment towards the tech sector has been hindered by concerns over underperforming companies. Companies like Sea Ltd and GoTo, once hailed as unicorns, are now facing scrutiny as they struggle to meet high growth expectations. Due to investments in the Southeast Asian markets, these firms are grappling with stagnating user numbers and market shares. This shift in investor sentiment shows the importance of profitability and scalability in today's competitive landscape. However, the region's tech sector continues to hold future promise. Temporary stagnant markets give opportunities for companies that can adapt to market dynamics and deliver innovative solutions.

India

India's AI market presents a bright spot in the global investment landscape. Projections suggest exponential growth, with the market expected to reach $17 billion by 2027. This growth is fueled by factors such as increased enterprise spending, an excelling talent pool, and government support. India's embrace of AI reflects a broader trend towards technology-driven innovation. AI growth in India is signaling opportunities for investors seeking exposure to high-growth sectors in emerging economies. The country's ecosystem and supportive policies position it as a key player in its AI landscape.

Israel

Israel stands out as a beacon of innovation, with a thriving ecosystem supported by government initiatives, a skilled workforce, and a developed venture capital market. The country's reputation as the "Startup Nation" is well-deserved, with over 6,000 active startups and a dominant presence in industrial high-tech and entrepreneurship. Government programs such as the Technology Incubator program and the Israel Innovation Authority provide crucial support for R&D and foreign investment. Israel's success story is an example of the importance of fostering a conducive environment for innovation and entrepreneurship in driving economic growth and attracting global investments.

The UAE

While not a hotspot from a startup perspective, the UAE plays an important role in the broader venture ecosystem particularly through its sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Investment Company, which has been making significant strides in diversifying its investments, including substantial commitments in the technology sector. Mubadala actively invests across a broad range of sectors with strong fundamentals such as technology, life sciences, consumer, financial services, energy, and industrials & business services. These sovereign wealth funds rife throughout the Middle East will likely be a key source of funding for late stage and pre-IPO businesses.
