Angels, VCs and entrepreneurs find themselves trapped in a similar situation to characters in Jean-Paul Sartre's play "No Exit", where 3 individuals are trapped in a windowless room together for eternity. The lack of exits from investments over the past decade has caused angels, VCs, and entrepreneurs to feel trapped with each other and seek different options like angels bypassing VCs or entrepreneurs bootstrapping. While some crossover between angels and VCs is natural, there will always be a need for the traditional investment cycle from friends/family to angels to VCs to help companies grow. For now, investors seem destined to remain interconnected and share the "investing room", if not for eternity then at least for the

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Angels, VC's and Entrepreneurs: "No Exit" or "Hell is other investors."
1. Angels, VCs and Entrepreneurs – “No Exit” or “Hell is other investors”
By Tom Tierney
Jean-Paul Sartre, a French playwright, wrote "No Exit" in the 1940's. The play centers on 3 individuals in
the afterlife, trapped in a windowless room with only discussions of their lives as entertainment. As a
result of the character’s interaction, the play's signature theme: "l'enfer c'est les autres" or "Hell is other
people".
With the lack of exits for angel investors, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs over the past decade, we
feel as though we are all trapped in a similar room as Sartre described. We talk of "venture capital being
broken". VCs are moving downstream to smaller funds and seed level investments. Angels are floating
ideas about bypassing VCs altogether. Entrepreneurs talk of bypassing angels and VCs via
“bootstrapping”. For angels, VCs and even entrepreneurs one could argue: "Hell is other investors!"
The likelihood is that the IPO market will never return at the level it was in the “dot.com “timeframe.
Most VC's will have a hard time supporting a large fund model and most will probably implement , if not
a full "seed stage" fund investing strategy, at least part of their portfolio in this manner. Angel investors
will seek more "early exit" M&A type opportunities and may pursue investments that bypass the VC
stage of follow on investment, altogether.
Realistically, this crossover of angel and VC functions is a natural progression and reaction to a
constantly changing technology market. The costs inherent in starting technology companies follow the
same cost and performance curve as hardware, “Moore's Law”. The ever increasing portfolio of open
software further lessens the hurdles of company creation for entrepreneurs. Companies can be created
with minimal investment support, though additional funds will most likely always be required during a
company’s growth phase.
No doubt angels and VCs may have some cross over funding early stage companies, but there will
always be a need for the traditional Friends/Family -> Angels -> VCs investment cycle for entrepreneurs.
Whether we like it or not, angels, VCs and entrepreneurs will always be somewhat intertwined and have
to share the "investing room" and each other's company, for some time to come: possibly even eternity
-- though let's hope we see some "exits" before then!
