EVSI REPORT Q1 2023 | OUTLOOK FOR Q2 2023 DECREASES

Q1 2023 was expected to be the continuation of the European economy recovery, as highlighted by the International Monetary Fund report after three macroeconomic events shook European economics (WEF, 2023). The war in Ukraine, rising infl ation, and the energy crisis. Despite signs of recovery in Q4 2022, in Q1 2023 Venture investment was faced with a banking crisis as well, which aff ected several institutions, including vital Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse.

Layers Of Decentralization

Decentralization in the world of web3 has the potential to challenge the business models of centralized web2 players, but it also comes with risks, including the exploitation of the lack of legislation and the centralization risk of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), requiring a strict due diligence process to mitigate these risks.

How dangerous SVB’ bankruptcy for Europe’s startups?

The bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) could have a significant impact on Europe’s startup ecosystem, as it was one of the most important financiers for startups in the US and worldwide. European banks are more risk-averse when it comes to lending to startups, and the loss of SVB could discourage other banks from financing technology companies.

How wealthy families seek returns

The degree to which family offices are willing to take risks is also influenced by the age of their investments. Family portfolios have recently undergone some changes.

In the previous year, investors had to be skillful to achieve positive returns. Apart from a few outliers like the Brazilian Bovespa, stock indices and government bonds ended the year on a downward trend. With the recent rise in interest rates, the previous upward trend in real estate prices has stalled in several locations. These developments have caused significant changes in the portfolios of family offices, which tend to maintain a low profile.
