Investors poured $15.5 billion into deals during the year, more than twice the previous record of $7.3 billion set in 2011 and the highest amount since VentureSource began collecting data on China in 2006. Dow Jones VentureSource is a database from Dow Jones & Co., which is owned by News Corp. Underlying the increase is a boom in the use of mobile devices. For the first time, more Chinese accessed the Internet via mobile devices than via PCs last year, the China Internet Network Information Centre said in July. The state-affiliated think tank estimated the number of mobile shoppers at 205 million as of June 2014, up 42% from December 2013. Hans Tung , managing partner at GGV Capital , a venture firm focused on China and the U.S., said the widening spread of smartphones and mobile devices in China spurred innovation Consumer-focused businesses dominated capital-raising in in 2014, attracting more venture capital. “We have a lot of new the fourth quarter, accounting for all the top five deals. The products being born, new apps and hardware developed,” he largest deal was a $1.1 billion financing for Xiaomi, a maker said. “There is a lot of demand for new services.” of smartphones and electronic gadgets. After Xiaomi, the next two largest rounds were for companies providing taxi- reservation services. Beijing Xiaoju Technology Co. raised $700 million and Hangzhou KuaiZhi Technology Co. raised Equity Financings for Mainland China $600 million. Venture-Backed Companies For the quarter, investors injected $6.8 billion into Chinese venture-backed companies, an almost fivefold increase from $20B the $1.4 billion invested in the same period a year earlier, according to VentureSource. The number of completed deals $15.53 rose 79% to 243 from 136 over the same period of 2013. 15 Mr. Tung, who was an early investor in Xiaomi, said he expected the focus on mobile services to continue next year. “More traditional industries such as retail will be 10 disrupted,” he said. “Consumer numbers will not grow as $7.27 $6.70 much next year, but there will be a continuing shift from offline to online.” $4.78 $4.98 $5.03 5 $3.99 $2.97 $3.46 He said, however, that many in the industry see valuations being too high. “What if in 2015 the bubble bursts? My 0 guess is that category winners will still be able to raise funds, 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 albeit by a lower valuation,” he said.

Overall private equity fundraising reached a record of $47 billion, beating a previous record of $46 billion recorded for 2011. n The surge in venture investment came as initial public offerings resumed after the closure of the market for more than a year while it was overhauled, offering investors better prospects of cashing out of successful companies. “Part of why 2014 was significantly stronger than 2013 is that the government relaxed its hold on IPOs,” said Benjamin Lavender, principal at China Market Research Group in Shanghai. There were 61 venture-backed IPOs in 2014, a leap from the 15 in 2013 but still well down from 100 in 2011 and 141 in 2010. The value of those IPOs last year was $7.2 billion, the highest in three years but still well down from 2011 and 2010 when the markets were deluged with listings, sometimes from Great Hall of the People (Chinese Parliament), Tiananmen Square in Beijing, companies with weak finances and governance.

  • Private Equity in the 2000S 1 Private Equity in the 2000S
    Private equity in the 2000s 1 Private equity in the 2000s Private equity in the 2000s relates to one of the major periods in the history of private equity and venture capital. Within the broader private equity industry, two distinct sub-industries, leveraged buyouts and venture capital experienced growth along parallel although interrelated tracks. The development of the private equity and venture capital asset classes has occurred through a series of boom and bust cycles since the middle of the 20th century. As the 20th century ended, so, too, did the dot-com bubble and the tremendous growth in venture capital that had marked the previous five years. In the wake of the collapse of the dot-com bubble, a new "Golden Age" of private equity ensued, as leveraged buyouts reach unparalleled size and the private equity firms achieved new levels of scale and institutionalization, exemplified by the initial public offering of the Blackstone Group in 2007. Bursting the Internet Bubble and the private equity crash (2000–2003) The Nasdaq crash and technology slump that started in March 2000 shook virtually the entire venture capital industry as valuations for startup technology companies collapsed. Over the next two years, many venture firms had been forced to write-off large proportions of their investments and many funds were significantly "under water" (the values of the fund's investments were below the amount of capital invested). Venture capital investors sought to reduce size of commitments they had made to venture capital funds and in numerous instances, investors sought to unload existing commitments for cents on the dollar in the secondary market.
