风险投资业者普遍唱衰2013年经济前景

根据美国风投协会(National Venture Capital Association；NVCA)与道琼风投公司(Dow Jones VentureSource)共同进行的2013年风投业者观点调查，风投业者与新创企业高阶主管们普遍唱衰2013年经济前景，同时也不看好洁净能源与医疗电子等市场领域。然而，他们对于企业的销售业务、医疗保健IT支出以及拉丁美洲等市场，仍抱持乐观看法。 这份研究报告指出，大约有49%的新创公司CEO以及42%的风投业者(VC)预期2013年的美国经济可望有所改善，这一数字较去年的调查结果微幅降低。去年，分别有53%的新创公司CEO以及47%的风投业者(VC)预期经济将会改善。 针对2013年的整体VC支出预期也呈现小幅下滑的趋势。约有43%的新创公司CEO和27%的VC预计2013年VC支出将会上扬，较去年分别为45%和32%的调查结果稍减。 “经济环境持续不确定性明显冲击了受访者对于来年的前景看法，”NVCA总裁表示，“联邦政府对于协助产业成长或停滞的影响从未如此巨大，立法者必须了解，其边缘政策正伤害着过去四年多来持续掌握利多消息的创业生态系统。”

{pagination} Cleantech outlook gloomy for VCs Rick Merritt SAN JOSE, Calif. – Venture capitalists and startup chief executives are generally lowering their expectations about the U.S. economy in 2013 as well as market sectors including cleantech and medical devices. However they are generally most bullish on business and health care IT spending and Latin America, according to a new survey. Forty-nine and 42 percent of startup CEOs and VCs respectively expect the U.S. economy to improve next year, according to the 2013 Venture View survey conducted by the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and Dow Jones VentureSource. That’s down from last year when 53 and 47 percent of the two groups expected economic improvements. Expectations for overall VC spending in 2013 also went down slightly in the latest survey. Forty-three percent of startup CEOs and 27 percent of VCs said they expect VC spending will rise next year, down from 45 and 32 percent in last year’s survey. “Ongoing uncertainty surrounding the fiscal cliff clearly impacted respondents’ outlooks for the coming year,” said NVCA president Mark Heesen. “The influence the federal government has over the growth or stagnation of our industry has never been greater, [and] lawmakers need to understand that their brinkmanship politics is hurting the entrepreneurial ecosystem, which has been grasping for positive news for the last four years."

They expect decreases in clean technology investments (61 percent) and medical devices (53 percent). Geographically, 55 percent of respondents said Latin America will see increasing U.S. investment in 2013 followed by China (40 percent) and India (37 percent). U.S. investments are most likely to decrease in Western Europe, said 55 percent of respondents, followed by Eastern Europe (36 percent) and Japan (30 percent). The survey queried more than 600 U.S. executives between Nov. 26 and Dec. 7.
