Venture capital investment remained around $7 billion in Q3 2008 despite turmoil in financial markets. Clean technology investing grew while internet deals declined. Overall, venture capitalists expect to see a dip in investing over the next quarters as portfolio company exits may be difficult due to poor market conditions.

The impact of government equity investment on internationalization: the case ...FGV Brazil
We examine the impact of government equity ownership on the degree of internationalization of emerging market firms. Our analysis of 173 Brazilian publicly traded firms from 2002 to 2011 shows that the higher the equity held by the state through the state investment bank and the pension funds of SOEs and privatized SOEs, the higher the firm’s degree of internationalization. Firms in which the government shared control with families, and with both families and foreigners, had a higher degree of internationalization. Our findings underline the importance of the institutional context in explaining the internationalization of Brazilian firms.

The world of venture capital has seen huge changes over the past decade. Ten years ago there were fewer than
20 known unicorns in the US5
; there are now over 2006
. Annual investment of global venture capital has increased
more than fivefold over the same period, rising to $264 billion by 2019. This investment has been dominated by the
tech sector harnessing digital frontiers to disrupt traditional industries – including cloud computing, mobile apps,
marketplaces, data platforms, machine learning and deep tech.7
It is an ecosystem that acts as the birthplace for
innovation and brands that can shape the future of consumerism, sectors and markets.
As COVID-19 has taken hold of the
world, the question of whether venture
capital, and early stage investing more
broadly, is backing and scaling the
innovations our world really needs has
never been more pertinent. Life science
and biotech investing is an asset class
perhaps most resilient and relevant to
the short-term impact of COVID-19,
but there is another impact-critical
investment area that is emerging as
an increasingly important investment
frontier: climate tech.
This research represents a first-ofits-kind analysis of the state of global
climate tech investing. We define what
it is and show how this new frontier
of venture investing is becoming a
standout investing opportunity for the
2020s. Representing 6% of global
annual venture capital funding in 2019,
our analysis finds this segment has
grown over 3750% in absolute terms
since 2013. This is on the order of 3
times the growth rate of VC investment
into AI, during a time period renowned
for its uptick in AI investment.8
Looking forward can climate tech in the
2020s follow a similar journey to the
artificial intelligence (AI) investing boom
in the 2010s? The substantial rates of
growth seen in climate tech in the late
2010s, and the overarching need for
new transformational solutions across
multiple sectors of the economy,
suggests yes. The stage appears set
for an explosion of climate tech into the
mainstream investment and corporate
landscape in the decade ahead.

Start-up losses are mounting and innovation is slowing, but venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, consultants, university researchers, and business schools are hyping new technologies more than ever before. This hype is facilitated by changes in online media, including the rise of social media. This paper describes how the professional incentives of experts and the changes in online media have increased hype and how this hype makes it harder for policy makers, managers, scientists, engineers, professors, and students to understand new technologies and make good decisions. We need less hype and more level-headed economic analysis and this paper describes how this economic analysis can be done.

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).

VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTMENT HOLDS IN $7 BILLION RANGE
IN Q3 2008 DESPITE TURMOIL IN THE FINANCIAL MARKETS ACCORDING
TO THE MONEYTREE REPORT
Investments in Clean Technology Grows While Internet-Specific Investing Declines
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18, 2008 – Venture capitalists invested $7.1 billion in 907 deals in
the third quarter of 2008, according to the MoneyTree™ Report from
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA)
based on data provided by Thomson Reuters. Quarterly investment activity was down 7
percent compared to the second quarter of 2008 when $7.7 billion was invested in 1033
deals. Despite the turmoil in the global financial markets in the United States, venture
capital investing remained within historical norms in the third quarter of 2008.
quot;While overall venture investing hasn't yet been impacted by the turmoil in the financial
markets, as evidenced by the $7 billion plus invested in Q3, we do expect to see a dip in
investing over the next several quarters,quot; said Tracy T. Lefteroff, global managing partner
of the venture capital practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers. quot;We also do not expect venture
funding to dry up. Venture capitalists have slugged through difficult economic times
before and this one should be no different. They are long-term investors and won't jump
ship just because the times are tough. They may tighten their belts and those of their
portfolio companies but they still have money in their coffers and will continue to make
investments.quot;
quot;The financial crisis in October was not reflected in the third quarter venture capital
investment levels,” said Mark Heesen, president of the National Venture Capital
Association. “We will be watching the mix of first time vs. follow-on rounds closely in
the coming months for any notable decline. If venture backed companies can't exit due to
continued poor market conditions, venture firms will have to commit additional time and
unplanned follow-on rounds of financing to those existing portfolio companies, which will
channel resources away from new deals. During the next year, venture capital investment
levels will be driven significantly by the clean tech sector, which will continue to grow
despite economic woes and could become the top investment sector for the venture capital
industry by 2012.quot;
2. Industry Analysis
The Biotech industry inched out the Software industry for top billing as the number one
industry sector in terms of dollars in the third quarter with $1.35 billion invested compared
to $1.34 invested in Software companies. Based on number of deals, however, Software
remained the top industry with 214 companies receiving funding in the third quarter
compared to only 114 Biotech companies. Industrial/Energy, driven by Clean Technology
investment, companies captured the third highest level of funding in Q3 with $1.2 billion
going into 96 deals.
The Life Sciences sector (Biotechnology and Medical Devices combined) saw a 10 percent
increase in VC investing in the third quarter with $2.2 billion going into 207 deals, an 8
percent drop in deals from the second quarter of 2008. This decrease is attributed to
declining investment levels in the Medical Devices sector. Investments in Life Sciences
companies represented 31 percent of all investment dollars and 23 percent of all deals in
the third quarter.
The Clean Technology sector, which crosses traditional MoneyTree industries and
comprises alternative energy, pollution and recycling, power supplies and conservation,
saw an increase in investment in the third quarter with $1.0 billion dollars going into 73
deals. This level of investment is 14 percent higher than the second quarter when venture
capitalists invested $887 million into 68 deals. This quarter is the second quarter in which
Clean Technology investment has exceeded $1 billion. Additionally, four of the top ten
deals for the quarter, including the top 2 deals, were in the clean technology sector.
Internet-specific companies received $1.1 billion going into 194 deals in the third quarter,
a 36 percent decline in dollars over the second quarter of 2008 which was a seven year
high with $1.6 billion going into 251 deals. This quarter marks the ninth consecutive
quarter of more than $1 billion being invested into Internet-specific deals. ‘Internet-
Specific’ is a discrete classification assigned to a company with a business model that is
fundamentally dependent on the Internet, regardless of the company’s primary industry
category.
Industrial/Energy was essentially flat in the third quarter with $1.2 billion going into 96
deals compared to the second quarter when $1.2 billion went into 94 deals. The
Semiconductor industry rebounded slightly from the prior quarter's drop, rising 7 percent
over the prior quarter to $396 million going into 50 deals. The Telecommunications
industry, with $323 million invested into 45 deals, sunk to its lowest investment level since
Q3 1997.
First-Time Financings
The dollar value of first-time deals (companies receiving venture capital for the first time)
declined 12 percent to $1.5 billion in the third quarter. The number of deals also declined,
dropping 20 percent to 259, down from the 322 receiving venture capital for the first time
in the prior quarter. First-time financings accounted for 21 percent of all dollars and 29
3. percent of all deals in the third quarter, compared to 22 percent of all dollars and 31
percent of all deals in the second quarter. The percentage of dollars going into first-time
financings is the lowest since the second quarter of 2004 when 20 percent of total
investments went to companies receiving venture capital for the first time. The percentage
of deals is at the lowest level since the first quarter of 2004 when 27.2 percent of deals
went to companies receiving venture capital for the first time.
Companies in the Industrial/Energy, Software, and Biotechnology industries received the
highest level of first-time dollars in Q3. Other industries seeing an increase in first-time
financings in Q3 include Semiconductors, Networking & Equipment, and Healthcare
Services when compared to Q2.
The average size of the first-time deal in the third quarter was $5.7 million compared to
$5.2 million one quarter ago. Seed/Early stage companies received the bulk of first-time
investments garnering 55 percent of the dollars and accounting for nearly three-fourths of
the deals.
Stage of Development
Seed/Early stage investing fell slightly in the third quarter to $1.7 billion into 350 deals
compared to the second quarter of 2008 when venture capitalists invested $1.8 billion into
378 deals. Seed/Early stage deals accounted for 39 percent of total deal volume in the
third quarter, up from 37 percent in the second quarter of 2008. The average Seed deal in
the third quarter was $3.5 million, down from $3.9 million in the second quarter; the
average Early stage deal was $5.5 million in Q3, up from $5.2 million in the prior quarter.
Expansion stage dollars dropped slightly in the third quarter, with $2.7 billion going into
263 deals. The number of deals, however, dropped 18 percent compared to the 321 deals
funded in the second quarter. Overall, Expansion stage deals accounted for 29 percent of
venture deals in the quarter, the lowest level in the history of the survey. The average
Expansion stage deal was $10.1 million, up notably from $8.0 million in the second quarter
of 2008.
Investments in Later stage deals dropped 14 percent with $2.8 billion going into 294 deals
and accounting for 32 percent of total deal volume. In the second quarter of 2008, $3.3
billion went into 334 deals. The average Later stage deal in the third quarter was $9.6
million, slightly lower than the prior quarter when the average Later stage deal size was
$9.8 million.
International Investing
In the third quarter of 2008, U.S.-based venture capitalists invested $526 million into 51
deals in China, a sight decline from the second quarter when $574 million went into 52
deals. Venture investment into India by U.S. venture capitalists declined significantly in
the third quarter, falling 43 percent to 271 million into 28 deals compared to $473 million
