The IPO Window Reopens:
We finally saw the IPO window crack open in Q3 2016, as proceeds from technology M&A are leaving investors flush with cash to reinvest and driving demand for IPOs and follow-on offerings.
In this third-quarter update on State of the Markets, my team analyzed investment and exit data to identify key trends impacting clients:
1. The number of IPOs exceeded private IPOs for the first time since Q2 2013, as crossover investors’ interest in large pre-IPO financings dropped off.
2. In the U.S., the pace of unicorn exits in Q3 exceeded new entrants.
3. After plummeting in the first half of 2016, values of publicly traded unicorns showed signs of recovery.
Learn more by reading the new State of the Markets report. As with any review of the markets, conditions can turn quickly. We are, however, confident that the fundamentals driving innovation will be strong through the end of 2016.

**Report updated on 8/4/2014
76% of executives in the U.S. innovation sector plan to grow their workforce in 2014, and 82% percent of executives say business conditions will improve in the coming year, according to Silicon Valley Bank's 2014 Innovation Economy Outlook study. These findings are based on Silicon Valley Bank's annual survey of more than 1,200 executives from software, hardware, cleantech and healthcare companiesin startup and growth stages of business in the US, UK and other global innovation hubs. In addition to the high rate of anticipated job creation, the study also reveals pervasive optimism, intent to access international markets for sales, and the ever-present challenge to obtain equity capital by some of the most innovative, high-growth companies in the world.
The outlook for the Chinese tech sector is strong, with a large number of startups saying they expect more M&A opportunities. Access to talent and raising capital remain challenging. Compared to the US and UK, a higher percentage of Chinese startups have women in senior company roles and at least one woman on
the founding team.
For the first time, SVB surveyed technology and life science entrepreneurs based in Canada. Like their counterparts in the US, UK and China, Canadian startups are optimistic about the year ahead even amid economic volatility. And while eager to hire and fundraise, they recognize the challenges they face. Most startups say Canadian government support of the innovation economy is having a positive impact. When it comes to gender parity, 60 percent of Canadian startups have at least one woman in an executive position. Looking ahead, we asked which technologies will have the most promise a decade from now: Canadian startups say AI and life science.

PwC's 18th Annual Global CEO Survey 2015: Exploring the importance of technol...James Woodworth
Rethinking the business you’re in
We live in an era of unprecedented digital change – the type of change that’s reshaping the relationship between customers and companies, breaking down the walls between industry sectors and, by extension, prompting forward-thinking CEOs to question the very business they’re in.
Watch this short video to hear about what CEOs had to say on the global economic outlook and their own growth prospects for the months and
One year ago business leaders’ feelings towards growth were sombre across the globe. A year later, and while Australian CEOs are feeling mildly more up-beat than their global peers, significant concerns still remain.
This year, we asked executives about their thoughts across key issues including partnerships, digital, talent and diversity, growth, capabilities, tax and regulation.
There is a dichotomy of perspectives across the board – with CEOs seeing as many threats to their business today as there are opportunities.
This is First Round's effort to provide an in-depth snapshot of what it's like to run a technology startup in 2018. We surveyed over 520 venture-backed founders who volunteered their experience and opinions.

Selon la 18e édition de l’étude mondiale annuelle « Global CEO Survey » de PwC, dans le cadre de laquelle plus de 1 300 dirigeants ont été interrogés, 37 % d’entre eux estiment que la croissance mondiale sera meilleure en 2015, contre 44 % l'année dernière. Cependant, ils restent confiants dans leur capacité à générer une croissance du chiffre d’affaires de leur propre entreprise (39%, un niveau identique à celui de l’année dernière).
Les dirigeants soulignent que les menaces auxquelles ils sont confrontés ont augmenté ces trois dernières années : ils insistent notamment sur la montée en force de la concurrence, avec un marché qui devient sans frontières et l’arrivée de nouveaux concurrents issus de secteurs d’activité différents.
Pour rester compétitifs, les dirigeants identifient trois leviers essentiels : la transformation digitale, le renforcement des partenariats et la diversité des talents.
Les résultats de cette étude sont rendus publics aujourd'hui à l'ouverture du Forum économique mondial à Davos, en Suisse.
Pour cette 18e édition de l’étude mondiale annuelle de PwC « Global CEO Survey », 1 322 interviews ont été conduites dans 77 countries entre septembre et décembre 2014. 459 entretiens ont été menés en Asie-Pacifique, 455 en Europe, 147 en Amérique du Nord, 167 en Amérique latine, 49 en Afrique et 45 au Moyen-Orient.
Los CEOs españoles aseguran que la tecnología es el factor disruptivo principal que impulsará la transformación de sus empresas en los próximos cinco años. Así lo afirma el 85% de los primeros ejecutivos españoles –y el 77% de los globales- en la XIX Encuesta Mundial de CEOs, elaborada por PwC y que se ha presentado en el Foro Económico Mundial de Davos.

This year’s survey, conducted between September and October 2019, asked 1,520 C-suite executives, including 740 CEOs across the globe, for their views on the external and internal stress points they face, the need and will to collaborate with nontraditional partners to drive future growth, and the impact that cyber risk and more sophisticated attitudes toward data privacy will have on their organizations in a digitally transformed business environment. This first report focuses on the hot-button issues, external and internal to firms, as seen by CEO and other C-suite executives.

Silicon Valley Bank 2017 State of the Wine Industry ReportSilicon Valley Bank
The Silicon Valley Bank 2017 State of the Wine Industry Report identifies trends and current issues facing the U.S. wine industry and offers data and observations wineries can use to develop their business strategies.
Silicon Valley Bank's wine report is based on its in-house expertise as one of the largest bankers to the West Coast wine industry for nearly 20 years, a proprietary database of more than a decade of winery financials, ongoing research, and an annual survey of 500+ West Coast wineries. Learn more at http://www.svb.com/wine-report/.
Major Forecasts for 2017:
- Wines sold between $12 and $25 will grow in demand as will high-end luxury wines with an established brand. We expect to see small price increases in these segments, with volume and price drops for bottles priced under $9.
- Premium wine sales will increase between 10 and 14 percent above 2016 levels.
- Per capita consumption faces crosscurrents with retiring wine-loyal baby boomers being replaced by less affluent millennials who are ambivalent about their alcoholic beverage of choice. If economic conditions continue to improve, however, per capita consumption should be slightly higher in 2017.
- Today, millennials are beginning to affect the lower price range of premium sales. Their presence is most visible in the $8 to $11.99 red blend category, but they gradually will shift from blends to varietal wines or imports as their incomes grow.
- Even with winery M&A facing headwinds from higher interest rates, winery acquisitions should remain quite active through 2017.
- Farm labor supply and costs are the dominant concerns in the wine business in 2017.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
2. For the 10th year, Silicon Valley Bank is proud to present
our Startup Outlook Report. The innovation economy has
expanded greatly in the US and abroad in the past decade,
and so has Startup Outlook. In our first report, we surveyed
300 people, most of them in California. The 2019 report
includes the perspectives of nearly 1,400 technology and
healthcare founders and executives primarily in major
innovation hubs across the US, the UK, China and, for the
first time, Canada.
In their responses this year, many startups tell us they expect business conditions
to improve in 2019, and they are making plans to hire employees and raise capital.
I love the fact that entrepreneurs are optimistic thinkers — after all, where would
we be if they didn’t have a positive outlook? At the same time, they are realistic
about the challenges they may face, whether hiring top talent, planning exits
during volatile markets or navigating geopolitical uncertainty (read: US-China
trade tensions and Brexit).
Looking at the first report from 10 years ago, I noted that hiring top talent was
a concern then — even with high unemployment rates coming out of the Great
Recession. Today, we hear how hiring challenges affect businesses in every
major innovation hub, whether due to unprepared workforces, immigration
policies or competition with tech giants. Entrepreneurs seldom speak with one
voice, but this report underscores the unified need to find solutions — or risk a
slowdown in innovation.
A small but interesting measure highlights the speed of innovation: The report of
10 years ago did not mention, for example, AI, autonomous cars or blockchain —
now pioneering technologies. This year, we asked respondents to predict what the
most promising technologies will be a decade from now. Check out the reports
to see what each country chose.
One more shift: Today, the innovation economy, with its size and complexity,
is a key barometer of the overall economy in many places and is subject to
macroeconomic tailwinds and headwinds. Whether 2019 will be a turning point
for global economies is hard to know. But we do know that innovators are adept
at uncovering opportunities and overcoming challenges. That is one constant
I don’t expect will change.
We hope you find useful takeaways in this report to help your company succeed.
Thank you for your interest. Let us know what you think.

5. Raising
capital grows
easier in the
past two years
Seventy-one percent of US
startups surveyed successfully
raised capital in 2018. Of those,
one-quarter say the current
fundraising environment is not
challenging. VCs and private
equity firms have been investing
larger rounds in fewer deals,
focusing their capital on high-
performing startups; however,
pre-revenue companies and those
with smaller revenue streams
describe raising capital as
considerably more challenging.
What is your view of the current fundraising environment?

6. Venture
capital is the
go-to source
of funding
Alternative financing sources
are a topic of great discussion
among startups and the media.
Still, half of US startups say
they expect their next source of
funding to be venture capital —
a steady level over the past
three years. Another 17 percent
say they expect to tap small
or individual investors for their
next funding round.
What do you expect to be your company’s
next source of funding?

7. Startups
say the most
realistic goal
is acquisition
Several unicorns are lining up for
possible 2019 IPOs. But most US
startups say their more realistic
long-term goal is to be acquired —
long cited as the most common
path to an exit. A larger percentage
of startups compared with a year
ago say they don’t know what their
ultimate goal is, underscoring the
difficulty of planning an exit amid
increased market volatility.

challenging to find talent with
the necessary skills to grow their
businesses. Another 62 percent
say it is somewhat challenging.

11. Women are
gaining
more startup
leadership roles
The focus on gender parity in the
innovation ecosystem has increased
in recent years. While there is still
work to be done, US startups are
reporting some progress.
The percentage of startups with
at least one woman on the board
of directors has increased to
37 percent — the highest level
since SVB started tracking in 2015.
The percentage of startups with at
least one woman in an executive
position is 53 percent, an increase
of 10 percentage points compared
with last year.
SVB will publish an in-depth
report on Women in Technology
Leadership in H1 2019.

are citing consumer privacy than
in the past.
