According to research by 100X.VC, a domestic venture fund that invests in early-stage firms, well-funded startups now have access to a fresh pool of talented individuals as a result of layoffs at some large corporations.
Sanjay Mehta, Founder & Partner, 100X.VC, said, “In 2023, we will be experiencing India where new startups will be unlimited in supply. For investors, this will have brutal investment selection through the process of elimination.”
By 2030, a portfolio of investors who can apply quality filters to their 2023 investments will shine with outlier returns, he continued.
The enthusiasm for investing in early-stage startups in India is still accelerating.
The paper claims that although the market for corporate software is extremely competitive, entrepreneurs can enter it and fight against the established businesses.
“They can offer innovative and differentiated products and services in logistics, analytics, expense management, collaboration, RPA, API platform etc.,” the report said.
