A lot of wealth will be created and an unparalleled global redistribution will take place. The US and China benefit from large single markets and highly efficient funding ecosystems. They frequently produce global category champions (e.g. Google, Amazon, Facebook, Tencent, UBER, Alibaba, etc.). Europe on the other hand is fragmented into smaller local markets with different languages, regulations, currencies and consumer habits.

  • Crowdfunding in Asia
    Crowdfunding in Asia May 2018 Introducing the first free directory of crowdfunding platforms across Asia. The data is based on the AlliedCrowds Capital Finder, a database of over 7,000 alternative finance capital providers across emerging markets. Our data has been used by organizations like FSD Asia, UNDP, World Green Economy Organization, GIZ, World Bank, and others in order to provide unique, actionable insights into the world of emerging market alternative finance. This is the latest of our regular reports on alternative finance in emerging markets; you can find all previous reports here. Crowdfunding rose in prominence in the post-financial crisis years (starting in 2012), and for good reason: a global credit crunch limited the amount of funding available to entrepreneurs and small businesses. Since then, crowdfunding has grown rapidly around the world. Crowdfunding is especially consequential in countries where SMEs find it difficult to raise capital to start or grow their businesses. This is the case in many Asian countries; according to the SME Finance Forum, there is a $2.3 trillion MSME credit gap in East Asia and the Pacific. Crowdfunding can help to fill this gap by offering individuals and small businesses an alternative source of capital. This can come in the form of donation-based as well as lending-based (peer-to-peer or peer-to-business) crowdfunding. In order to help entrepreneurs and small business owners to find the crowdfunding platform that’s right for them, we are releasing the first publicly available list of all crowdfunding platforms across Asia. The report is split into two key sections: the first one is an overview of crowdfunding platforms, and how active they are across the largest markets on the continent.

  • Russia Technology Internet Local Dominance Strengthens
    12 December 2018 | 1:51AM MSK Russia Technology: Internet Local dominance strengthens; competition among ecosystems intensifies It’s been a year since we published Russia’s internet champions positioned to Vyacheslav Degtyarev +7(495)645-4010 | keep US giants at bay. We revisit our thesis, highlighting that the domestic internet [email protected] OOO Goldman Sachs Bank incumbents are successfully defending their home turf from international competition. We have seen only modest incremental efforts from global players, with some recognizing the importance of local expertise (Alibaba’s agreement to transfer control in AliExpress Russia to local partners) or conceding to domestic market leaders (Uber merged its Russian operations with Yandex.Taxi, citing Yandex’s strong technology and brand advantage). The two domestic market leaders, Yandex and Mail.ru, have solidified their dominant positions in search and social networks, respectively, and are leveraging these core businesses to exploit new sources of growth across their ecosystems (e.g. advertising, taxi, food tech, music). While their ever-expanding competitive overlap is worrying, we note this is not unique for global tech and is still relatively limited in scale. We expect the local dominance trend to continue and see significant untapped opportunities in e-commerce, messengers, local services, cloud and fintech. We re-iterate our Buy ratings on Yandex (on CEEMEA FL) and Mail.ru, and view them as the key beneficiaries of internet sector growth in Russia. We believe the market

  • Entrepreneurial Finance and Productivity in Different Institutional Contexts: Lessons from Equity Crowdfunding
    CHAPTER 8 Entrepreneurial Finance and Productivity in Different Institutional Contexts: Lessons from Equity Crowdfunding Douglas Cumming and Sofia Johan To finance growth, entrepreneurial firms need external financing. While bank finance is the most common for entrepreneurial firms,34 many firms do not have sufficient collateral and/or stable cash flows to enable them to obtain or maintain debt finance. Equity finance has traditionally been available from angel investors and venture capitalists (VCs). But the pres- ence of angels and VCs does not imply that the market for entrepreneurial finance is complete or without gaps of underserved entrepreneurs with good ideas and scant capital. In most countries around the world over the last decade, the biggest change to the landscape of equity finance for entrepreneurs has been the introduction of equity crowdfunding (Cum- ming and Johan, 2019). There is substantial evidence consistent with the view that equity crowdfunding facilitates productivity growth. Equity crowdfunding deep- ens capital markets for startups, particularly at the most nascent stage of entrepreneurial firm development, thereby lowering costs of entry for startups. As such, equity crowdfunding is an important instrument for introducing and spreading new technology, which improves productivity. Empirical evidence is supportive. For example, large sample evidence is consistent with the view that crowdfunding improves small firm growth (Eldridge, Nisar, and Torchia, 2019; Stevenson, Kuratko, and Eutsler, 2019), enables the development of smart cities (Carè, Trotta, Carè, and Rizzello, 34 See Cosh et al. (2009) for UK evidence, and Robb and Robinson (2014) for US evidence. fraserinstitute.org / 69 70 / Achieving the 4-Day Work Week: Essays on Improving Productivity Growth in Canada 2018), and enables firms to get to the next level in subsequent capital raises (Signoria and Vismara, 2018).35 Given the importance of equity crowdfunding to entrepreneurial finance and productivity, in this chapter we address two interrelated ques- tions.

These ratings TripAdvisor can tell you a lot about the quality and amenities of the hotel / resort. Based on the Official vs. Unofficial Star Ratings opinion of The first thing to understand about star ratings is that there are official and unofficial 1890 people star ratings. Any hotel can say that it is a five-star hotel or a three-star hotel. But unless you are sure that the star rating is official, take it with a grain of salt. The original star- rating system was started by Forbes Travel Guide in the 1950s. Since then, several dif- ferent evaluating bodies have assigned stars, so it's important to check who the evalua- tor is and what its system entails. For instance, in the U.S., Forbes is still one of the leading star-assigning bodies, as is AAA. 4.5 out of 5 AAA's Diamond Rating System comprises two distinct components.
