Today, New Era Capital Group and our largest portfolio company, Astute, reached a significant milestone. We stood at the NYSE ready to take 'AT' public, a notable achievement for any company. After thorough deliberation, we decided to remain private. Our commitment extends beyond wealth creation; it encompasses nurturing a rich network of innovative, private investments that thrive on autonomy and strategic growth. This decision allows us to maintain control over our ventures, free from the short-term pressures of public markets. In an era where major tech companies continue to iterate on the same products year over year, true innovation requires a unique approach. As a private entity, our profits are determined by the real, tangible value we create for our stakeholders and the groundbreaking advancements we support. At New Era Capital Group we believe our strength lies in our discretion and our ability to invest in technologies that disrupt, not replicate. We choose strategic growth over conventional success and invite our network to continue this journey with us, shaping a future where ours and your childrens collective vision dictates our path. #NewEraCapital #PrivateWealth #InnovationOverIteration

After about a year of challenges, the tech industry is seeing conditions improve for M&A activity and growth. Here are the top 6 private equity trends that tech leaders should be aware of to make the most of the changing market conditions. #techaccounting #privateequitytrends #techindustry #techleaders

M&A activity is a market barometer for the innovation economy, and this year, most of what you read could have been written by Debbie Downer: 🔻 The value of U.S. M&A deals has fallen by 23.7% compared to the same 2022 period with a total value of $875.6 billion.  🔻 Globally, M&A is down across all major regions. 🔻 While numbers of deals in the tech sector compared to last year was flat, dollar value is much lower. Since anyone reading this post knows that already, I thought I would share some glimmers of OPTIMISM, which I gleaned from this article from Axios: ⬆️ In the U.S., the energy, technology, and health care sectors have been the most active. ⬆️ Health care saw an increase in deal value, largely due to Pfizer's $43 billion acquisition of Seagen. ⬆️ Technology M&A is being driven more by companies, as they regain confidence in their stock prices and their ability to finance acquisitions. Realistic valuations are also helping to drive this trend. ⬆️ #GenerativeAI is eating up #venturecapital dollars everywhere on the globe. ⬆️ The defense tech sector is experiencing a unique focus, with VCs forming to invest exclusively in U.S. private companies that will only sell to the U.S. government. I find that nourishing optimism and positivity proliferates creativity, and the combination = goodness.
