Venture Bytes #73— Disrupting Cyber Insecurity
The company started off 2021 by reporting that it now manages over $81 billion in assets, which helped generate $420 million in revenue for the first quarter according to the New York Times. Robinhood also reported that it saw a loss of $1.4 billion during the same quarter, a massive jump from the $53 million loss from the prior year.
Venture Bytes #72—Leading Unicorns Heading for Exit in 2H21
Fintech is on a tear. The sector has been brewing up for some time now as both funding rounds and valuations have trended up. Out of the seven companies recently reaching unicorn status, three have been from the fintech space – Groww, CRED, and Zeta. Many of these fintechs are capitalizing on the fact that the banking sector is far behind the innovation curve. This has created a massive opportunity for disruptive technology solutions that can be deployed on legacy systems, enabling banks to launch new products and improve customer experience. The addressable market for banking software is worth $300 billion, (source: SoftBank).
Venture Bytes #71—The Rise of SPACs - Net Additive to Venture Capital Firms
This is a significant development because venture firms have traditionally been long- term investors that focus on products that take years to develop and even longer to realize returns. SPACs could allow their companies to go public sooner, allowing them to sell their shares faster and generate quicker returns for limited partners.
Venture Bytes #70 – Online Grocery Delivery Service – The Next Frontier
Please see attached the latest edition of Venture Bytes from Manhattan Venture Research. The two lead articles in this edition are very topical.The first lead article, Online Grocery Delivery Service – The Next Frontier, is our take on the grocery delivery market. We believe this segment of the online delivery market is largely under penetrated, and far from a zero sum game despite the presence of major retailers.The second article, Cannabis Sector Riding on High, is our outlook on the sector. The space has been buoyed by optimism that there will be additional marijuana deregulation following positive comments by politicians on decriminalizing it, and roughly 11 million new people that can legally access recreational cannabis following successful ballot measures in Arizona, Montana, South Dakota, and New Jersey.
