Here’s the third post in our five part series covering the recent webinar we hosted on the role of AI in the corporate arena - the theme: Leveraging our unique position in the VC backed tech ecosystem. We recognize Arbra's advantageous position in the VC tech ecosystem. We are primarily growth investors—neither a typical VC nor a traditional hedge fund. However, we acknowledge that these two players are highly influential in shaping the tech landscape. VCs focus on nurturing innovation, backing high-growth technologies, and creating new categories. This leads to a high-risk, high-reward scenario. On the other hand, institutional investors like hedge funds are often the buyers of IPOs—the exit many VCs aim for. They seek established business models with clear paths to profitability, making them more risk averse. At Arbra, we blend the insights from both worlds into our approach. We study what makes for the most successful exits—the true reality checks in the venture ecosystem. By reverse-engineering these success stories, we identify where these businesses are created, which sectors they thrive in, what business models work, and the types of founders behind them. We also examine which tier 1 VCs back these ventures and always see patterns emerge for successful and winning startups. Our strategy is to partner with these influential players, not compete with them. This allows us to provide the best opportunities for our investors and maximize long-term value. #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #coding #techecosystem #privatemarkets #wealthmanagement #assetmanagement

The mega-deal strikes back? Nearly half of VC funding in Q3’24 came from mega-rounds. How long can this trend continue? Are these mega-rounds distorting the true state of the market? ICYMI, M13 partner Karl Alomar got on stage at Web Summit—alongside The J Curve's Olga Maslikhova, Portage 's Hélène FALCHIER, and Crunchbase CEO jager mcconnell—to talk about just that. Here are some of his takeaways from their conversation: -After a difficult couple of years post-Covid downturn, mega deals are showing up again—mainly in AI, but also in biotech -Down rounds in later stages have been common in recent years -The distance between Series A and B rounds has never been wider—so the expectations and demand on early-stage companies is far greater -One impact of mega-deals on VC is that venture could be split into two categories, growth and early stage, with very different expectations and goals around risk and returns -Although early-stage investors (like M13) generally do not participate in mega-deals, their investments often signal the establishment of new business categories smaller companies may be building #venturecapital #earlystageinvesting #megadeals #funding
