We are now in an Investor’s Market.
This is what has changed since last year:
1) There’s been a massive correction in the public markets which is now filtering to private markets
2) There is a potential recession looming and it seems unlikely that central banks will intervene in the short term
3) There are a number of other issues like inflation and the current geo-political situation that are impacting investor confidence
Despite there being an incredible amount of venture capital and private equity over the last few years, we’re now facing a difficult environment for raising money:

It sits within the broader industrial software and Asset Performance Management market, where predictive maintenance is one application among several, and can be deployed on premises, at the edge or in airgapped environments where operational data cannot leave the site.
It looks like a fund with no thesis. It is not really a fund.
An umbrella fund structure holds multiple single-purpose sub-funds, each with its own unit class and segregated assets held in the trustee’s name. Investors select an individual project rather than acquiring exposure to the whole portfolio, which means they carry concentrated exposure to that project and do not obtain diversification across the fund’s other investments.
What they took out paid for the production line
Flint’s paper battery is usually described by what it removes. Carlo Charles’s even more interesting point is that removing the materials also removed a lot of machinery, and that is why two products reached production on roughly US$4 million.
