<\/span>Global VC <\/span>funding drought in 1H 2023 despite AI boom: <\/span>Global venture capital <\/span>funding saw a 48% decline in the first half of 2023 to USD 173.9 bn, according to data from research firm PitchBook, reports <\/span>Reuters<\/a><\/span>. That\u2019s despite investors plowing some USD 40 bn in AI startups over the past six months, sparked by the success of OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT \u2013 which received a USD 10 bn investment from Microsoft \u2013 and similar products. The dip is all the more stark considering that VC funding hit a record high only two years ago, reaching USD 745.1 bn in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

The days of easy money are over: <\/span>VCs are becoming more selective against a backdrop of rising interest rates, fewer IPOs, an<\/span>d a lack of alternative ways to make exits. Latin America has seen the biggest fall in VC funding with an 86% slump, while funding fell 69% in Europe and 65% in the US.<\/span><\/p>\n

ADQ + Bank of Montreal to snap up stakes in Sagard: <\/span>Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth<\/span> fund ADQ and Canada\u2019s Bank of Montreal will acquire minority stakes in alternative asset manager <\/span>Sagard<\/a><\/span>, according to a joint statement seen by <\/span>Reuters<\/a><\/span>. The transaction will see Canadian ins-focused financial holding firm Great-West Lifeco increase its existing minority stake in Sagard. It is expected to close in 3Q 2023, pending regulatory approvals. <\/span><\/p>\n

Musk calls copycat on Threads:<\/span> Twitter plans to take legal action against Meta, <\/span>accusing the company of hiring ex-Twitter employees to develop rival app Threads, <\/span>BBC News<\/a><\/span> reports.
