According to "Australian Financial Review" reported on November 2, Sequoia Capital co-founder and managing partner Shen Nanpeng believes that in the post-smartphone era, 2018 will be a key year for investors looking for a new round of large-scale investment.
For venture capital and technology companies, the next year’s priority is to find and develop value businesses that help create the era of smart phones. Shen Nanpeng believes that intelligent digital assistants, driverless vehicles, virtual reality, and IoT devices will become areas for attracting capital.
Shen Nanpeng is one of the most influential start-up investors in China. He is also a co-founder of Ctrip.com. Shen Nampeng has provided seed round financing for many large start-up companies around the world, including the U.S. delegation and today’s headlines.
Investors and industry professionals are eagerly seeking and supporting emerging technologies because these technologies are expected to become the new platform of choice for accessing services and information. Just as today's iPhone has inspired a smart phone era, large amounts of capital have flowed globally. "We need to move from the mobile Internet to find the next big platform. Because no one can point you to a clear direction or become a so-called prophet." Shen Nanpeng said.
Future transformation of technology investmentEmerging technologies and research funding have become China's core focus. The Chinese government has announced that by 2030 it will become a world leader in key sciences such as artificial intelligence. The three Internet giants Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent are investing billions in artificial intelligence research.
In September, the “Future Science Award†with the Chinese Nobel Prize was announced in Beijing. This was the first award donated by mainland entrepreneurs, covering life science, material science, and computer science. The list of donors includes big names such as Li Yanhong and Ma Huateng, as well as prominent investment professionals Shen Nanpeng. They presented annual cash awards to scientists who contributed to three related fields.
“If you look at the income statements of many Chinese companies, you will find that our R&D part may still be smaller than US companies. Big companies such as Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu have invested a lot of energy in research and development. In the short term, the net income will be reduced, but in the long run, the development potential is endless.†Shen Nanpeng said. In addition to increasing research and development, the Big Three are also investing in a number of start-up companies. They are involved in multiple areas, including consumer shopping applications, shared bicycle services and more advanced technologies. The value of these areas is rising. Six of the world's top 15 private capital-backed start-up companies are in China.
Investors have been considering whether technology start-ups are above their actual value. “In the past decade, people have complained from time to time that valuations are too high, but in fact if there are too many bubbles in the market, the market itself will adjust.†Shen Nanpeng said.
