How Deep Tech Investing Can Drive Consistent Performance (Preqin.com)
A focus on technology risk and being global-minded are key to investing in innovation. Managing Risk in Innovation: All VC firms look for ‘innovative’ opportunities, but we view such opportunities by identifying three associated risks: technology risk, intellectual property (IP) risk, and market risk. A company that has none of these risks is usually too mature and late stage for VC investors to consider. In this context, VC investors choose to take on any – or a combination – of these risks when making investments. In Vickers Venture’s case, we only take one risk – technology, while minimizing or avoiding our exposure to the other risk categories. Market risk, in particular, is something we look to mitigate in investment decisions because it is very difficult to predict the potential demand for any product. Whether a market even exists for a company’s product is the biggest hurdle to overcome. It is this type of high-risk bet that makes VC results so volatile.
