*Take your pick*

Hi there,

Over the last few months I’ve been on some podcasts talking about tech, CB
Insights, etc.

Recently, I was on Peep Laja’s excellent “How To Win” podcast where we
discussed:

   -

   CBI’s content strategy
   -

   The importance of a high pain tolerance
   -

   Ruthless prioritization
   -

   Using Twitter and LinkedIn to test content ideas

If that kinda thing is your thing, you can listen to the full conversation
on Apple

And Now, The Research

*No winter for Coinbase Ventures*

Despite Coinbase’s brutal 2022, its venture arm was still the #1 most
active corporate VC investor
<https://cbinsights.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c60818e26ecdbe423a10ad2f&id=930fd44649&e=c3d086e0bb>
(tied with GV) in the second quarter.

Coinbase Ventures and GV (Google Ventures) invested in 28 companies each in
Q2’22, pulling back from their first quarter dealmaking.

Overall, CVC activity fell by the largest margin in over a decade (though
it remained one of the strongest quarters on record).

Japan bucked that trend.

Corporate venture arms in the country dominated the world stage in Q2. Of
the 9 most active CVCs, 5 are now based in Japan compared to 2 in Q1’22.

A government push to encourage more startup activity in the country may
continue to drive a shift in dealmaking across all investor types,
including CVCs.

*Carbon meets its match*

Companies are racing to serve the demand for decarbonization technology.

Startups are developing products & services across emissions tracking,
carbon capture, and more.

Funding to the decarbonization tech space has already crossed 2021’s total
in 2022 so far.

Meanwhile, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have all incorporated
decarbonization tech tools into their products & services.

With market leadership still up in the air, big tech giants are vying for a
piece of the decarbonization tech pie.

*Too-da-loo*

Massive debt. Inefficient operations. Changing consumer preferences.

These challenges — compounded by the Covid-19 pandemic — have felled iconic
retailers from Neiman Marcus to JCPenney.

Since 2020, the pace of retail bankruptcies has slowed down significantly.
But not all retailers are out of the woods just yet.

We dig into recent retail bankruptcies and the reasons behind them in this
post

Client-Exclusive Research

*Better doctor’s visits*

The clinical encounter — when patients interact with clinicians — is a
crucial part of healthcare delivery.

Better encounters = better outcomes.

Tech solutions that support clinicians at the point of care are a key area
of investment for healthcare leaders looking to augment care delivery and
improve patient satisfaction.
