An increasing number of accredited investors these days are turning to technology investments and are often found wondering, “what emerging technology to invest in?” The answer to the question depends on a number of factors such as the technology roadmap and overall business strategy of the technology company being considered for investment. Having said that, there are scores of other technical considerations to make in any profitable technology investment strategy today. This is when investors need a trusted investment partner such as FIG Tree Capital Ventures. Continuing on the subject, in this blog post, we discuss three factors investors need to know before investing in technology companies and projects. Read on.
1. Don’t limit investments to prominent technologies
Many investors expect notably emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, to be the next big things in the technological world. Though the notion might be true, but that doesn’t mean investors should ignore other potential avenues. Wireless energy, for instance, is another domain that is likely to grow exponentially in times to come. It is therefore important for investors to partner with a trusted capital investment company in order to formulate a low-risk, high-return technology investment strategy.
2. Technical viability should not be the only criterion
The problem with relying on tech analysts and third-party research is that they tend to focus merely on technical viability, or how likely it is for a technology to become mainstream. Not all industries, however, find every technology relevant. What is critical for manufacturing, for instance, may not be relevant to financial services. It is, therefore, important to consider the business relevance of a specific technology in addition to its technical viability, to create a comprehensive technology investment strategy.
3. Assess the potential of technologies in business terms
Unless a business owner can demonstrate the quantifiable benefits of an emerging technology in business terms, all you would be staring at is some cool-sounding and cool-looking technology with no certain real world application. Investors need to ascertain how certain technologies create value in real world terms such as operational efficiency, brand recognition, and impact on customers. In other words, the technology investment projects you invest in should solve larger, real-world problems and challenges.
