In new age, when the primary focus is on disruptive deep tech, machine learning, automation, artificial intelligence as well as digital tech data analytics, we believe that a unique business idea with elements of innovation is quintessential to success. Other deciding factors include the size of opportunity, team capability, growth potential, network and linkages, speed of execution, market size, capital requirements and the ability to self-sustain. Investment in a niche business segment or aiming for a suitable acquisition target for business expansion can also serve as game-changers for founders in building long lasting businesses.
The world is experiencing a paradigm shift in how businesses are conducted and companies operate on account of emerging technologies, acceleration of digital and analytics, evolving consumer mindset and changing ecosystems. Today, only those who can identify and adapt to change with resolve, resilience, re-imagination and reform will be able to survive and step up their game.
To effectively respond to these changes, new-age businesses and innovative ways of working are emerging. Resultantly, how an investor approaches, perceives and supports such businesses in the transformed environment is changing.
As expected, businesses around the world are trying their best to adapt to these changes quickly and chase relevant opportunities. However, in this mayhem of changes, a small part of new-age business environment is getting cluttered with shallow businesses and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) investors chasing fancy valuations, unrealistic dreams and cloned ideas.
As an outcome, businesses with unreasonable growth assumptions are enjoying undeserving attention and risk capital from these investors while promising, real and path-breaking businesses take a backseat. Therefore a new age investor has to be resilient, adaptive and realistic to evaluate such businesses and have a balanced approach towards them.
