DESCRIPTION

ub-Saharan Africa is starved for electricity. The region’s power sector is significantly underdeveloped, whether we look at energy access, installed capacity, or overall consumption. The fact that sub-Saharan Africa’s residential and industrial sectors suffer electricity shortages means that countries struggle to sustain GDP growth. The stakes are enormous. Indeed, fulfilling the economic and social promise of the region, and Africa in general, depends on the ability of government and investors to develop the continent’s huge electricity capacity.Countries with electrification rates of less than 80 percent of the population consistently suffer from reduced GDP per capita (Exhibit 1). The only countries that have electrification rates of less than 80 percent with GDP per capita greater than $3,500 are those with significant wealth in natural resources, such as Angola, Botswana, and Gabon. But even they fall well short of economic prosperity. Whether people can obtain electricity (access), and if so, how much they are able to consume (consumption) are the two most important metrics that can indicate the degree to which the power sector is supporting national development.

  • Financing Trends Q2 2014 (United States)

  • 2

  • 3

    Q2 continued the trend of massive funding activity with corporate venture participation. Compared to the same quarter last year, CVC funding in Q2 2014 more than doubled as CVC balance sheets are helping in late stage mega-financings.

    California took 66% of all CVC funding dollars invested across the country on the back of mega-financings to Bay Area-based companies from corporate investors. Both Mass and NY bounced back after funding share fell drastically in Q114.

    After a multi-year high in Q1 for CVC activity, corporate VC participation reached new highs as 92 corporate VCs completed an investment in Q2, a 39% rise from the same quarter last year and a 51% jump from the same quarter two years ago Q2 2012.

    Corporate venture activity accounted for 29% of the $13.9B total venture capital funding in Q2. CVCs participated in 19% of all VC deals, a five-quarter high.

    Google Ventures led all corporate VCs, investing in over twice as many U.S. venture deals as the second most-active corporate VC, Intel Capital, in Q2 2014.

    Behind multiple $50M+ deals, average deal size with corporate venture participation reached $23M, falling off Q1s five-quarter high of $24.2M but marking the second straight quarter with a $20M+ average.

    Healthcare CVC funding jumped to a five-quarter high, increasing over 200% on a sequential basis. CVC deals in the healthcare sector also peaked at 40 deals, up 74% from Q114.

    Internet CVC deal activity rebounded from a slow Q1, rising to 76 deals, a growth of 62%.

    Corporations making strategic investments in companies but not as part of a specific separately demarcated venture group are not included. Page 47 details the rules and definitions we use.

    Measuring corporate venture activity is important. We encourage you to review the methodology and definitions employed by us to better understand the numbers presented in this report. If you have any questions about our definitions or methodological principles, please reach out to us directly. What is included? Equity financings into emerging companies. Funding must come from corporate venture groups. Fundings of only private companies. Public companies of any kind on any exchange (including Pink Sheets) are excluded from our numbers even if they received investment by a venture firm(s) Companies must be headquartered in the USA. Our geographic data is based on the city and state where the company receiving investment is headquartered. If a company has a satellite office/presence in multiple cities or was founded in a particular city but has moved its HQ, our results reflect only this HQ address. Only include the investment made in the quarter for tranched investments. If a company does a second closing of its Series B round for $5M and previously had closed $2M in a prior quarter, only the $5M is reflected in our results. Round #s reflect what has closed not what is intended. If a company indicates the closing of $5M out of a desired raise of $15M, our numbers reflect only the amount which has closed. Only verifiable fundings are included. Fundings are verified via (1) various federal & state regulatory filings (2) direct confirmation with firm or investor, or (3) press release. Funding close date matters. Fundings are provided based on funding close date and not on announcement date.

    What is not? Strategic corporate investments. Corporations making strategic investments in companies but not as part of a specific organized venture group are not included. Angel investment. These are not included in numbers unless an investment round included Angels investing alongside a corporate venture group. No contingent funding. If a company receives a commitment for $20M subject to hitting certain milestones but first gets $8M, only the $8M is included in our data. No business development/R&D arrangements whether transferable into equity now, later or never. If a company signs a $300M R&D partnership with a larger corporation, this is not equity financing nor is it from a venture capital firm. As a result, it is not included. Buyouts, Consolidations and Recapitalizations. All three of these of transaction types are commonly employed by private equity firms and are tracked by CB Insights. However, they are excluded for the purposes of this report. Private equity investments into companies which may have received venture capital investment prior are also not included. Private placements. These investments also known as PIPEs (Private Investment in Public Equities) even if made by a corporate venture group(s) are not included. Debt/loans of any kind. Venture debt or any kind of debt/loan issued to emerging, startup companies even if included as an additional part of an equity financing is not included. If a company receives $3M with $2M from venture investors and $1M in debt, only the $2M is included in these statistics. Government funding. Grants, loans, equity financings by the federal government, state agencies or public-private partnerships to emerging, startup companies are not included. Strictly corporate venture outfits. Incubator investments. Investments of money as equity or debt and/or services by incubators are not included.
