Gs503 venture capital financing intro 120115Stephen Ong
This document provides an introduction to venture capital financing for technology startups. It discusses various sources of equity financing like venture capital and business angels. Venture capital firms invest large sums of money in high-growth potential companies, but undergo a rigorous review process and only fund a small percentage of proposals. Business angels provide an important source of early-stage "seed" capital. The document also examines the characteristics that venture capitalists look for in potential investments, such as strong management teams and large market opportunities. It uses examples and case studies to illustrate different funding scenarios.
Venture capital refers to financing provided to startup companies with exceptional growth potential. Venture capitalists provide funding in exchange for equity in companies and often provide managerial and technical expertise as well. Venture capital investments typically involve high risks but also promise high returns through a liquidity event like an IPO or acquisition. Venture capital funds raise capital from various sources to finance new and rapidly growing companies.
Venture capital is funding provided to startup companies and small businesses with perceived long-term growth potential. It involves three main actors: venture capital funds that manage money from investors, the investors who provide this money, and the entrepreneurial companies that receive the funding. There are typically five stages of venture capital funding as a company grows from an idea to commercialization to expansion. Venture capital carries high risk but also high potential returns and has played an important role in economic growth and job creation.

Venture capital provides funding to startups and small businesses with promising growth potential. It fills an important gap for entrepreneurs with innovative ideas but limited access to traditional financing. Venture capital funds invest in high-risk, high-reward opportunities and provide management support to help companies succeed. The venture capital model originated in the United States after World War II and has helped launch many prominent tech companies. While risky, venture capital is an important source of funding that fuels innovation, business growth, and economic development.

The first case is about Eva and Andrew, who started a business called Bey Tin Hong Kong designing and producing souvenirs using umbrellas. They received a HK$90,000 loan to help launch their business. The second case is about Felix and Alex, who received an HK$80,000 loan to start an environmental consulting and waste recycling business called Heng Lui.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
