2019 “Matthew Effect” of fundraising: the top 20 companies get more than half of the market money p>
After the overheated and extensive development stage, the “capital winter” has swept China’s new economic venture capital sector. In the so-called “cold winter”, we saw that corporate financing became more difficult, and we took it one step further-VCs were also caught in a fundraising dilemma. Things haven’t changed in 2019.
According to Zero2IPO data, China’s equity investment market completed a total of 108.177 billion fundraising in the first 11 months of 2019. Compared with the same period in 2018, the total fundraising has decreased by 10%, but the overall decline has slowed compared to 2018.
The introduction of new asset management regulations in 2018 has had a greater impact on the financing of the primary market, which in turn has affected the financing of new economy enterprises. In 2019, the state opened up the gap in the new regulations on asset management. In late October, the six ministries and commissions jointly issued the “Notice on Further Clarifying and Regulating the Matters Concerning Asset Management Products for Investment in Financial Institutions, Venture Capital Funds and Investment Funds for the Government Assets Industry.” Article 6 mentions that venture capital funds and government industry funds are exempt from multiple levels of nesting restrictions, and venture capital funds are officially loosened.
