The pinging-ping markets, the prices are in full, the labor market is unstable-and the co-founder of a venture capital company sees opportunities.
Abhijoy Mitra, who founded the CIV venture capital company alongside the partners Jeff Rosenthal and Patrick Maloney, told Business Insider that some of the most successful venture capital funds had capitalized on volatility.
“Some of the funds that have received very well in recent decades are funds that have been able to invest actually in periods of entropy and chaos, when things are in flow and things are transformed,” he said. “I think that many large companies are born out of travel periods.” MITRA mentioned Microsoft, IBM and Airbnb, which were all founded during recessions.
CIV supports existing companies and builds new ones in key industries, including AI and energy. Mitra, who has experience in technological investment, said that startups are particularly well placed to capitalize on periods of “wild chaos”.
“There is a tectonic change in real time, and it is possible to reinvent the way industries are under construction,” he said. “Uncertainty, while in the long term is certainly not desirable, it creates opportunity pockets.”
The founders of CIV focus on companies which, according to them, will define future industries in the United States and will remain both relevant and profitable beyond short-term uncertainty. Mitra and Rosenthal told Bi that the prioritization of a large market, the effectiveness of capital and good business partners are other keys to success.
In recent years, venture capital companies have decreased and investors have increased the bar when they decide companies to support. The chandelier that fades from industry is now backlit by general economic volatility, with an imminent potential recession.
Mitra is not the only one to see the opportunity in trouble. Market experts previously told Bi that it could be the right time to buy shares.
