CEO'S UPDATE
HEIN VOGEL, CEO
FY21 has been a significant year for Touch Ventures
MARKET & STRATEGY UPDATE
Coming off a strong 2021, the growth sector has seen a correction in the public markets
Late 2020 through to late 2021 saw increased valuations across public equity markets, particularly for growth and technology companies. This trend began to reverse in late 2021 as a result of changing market conditions, the prospect of increased inflation and interest rates as well as geopolitical uncertainty

We have seen this correction now feeding into the private market with deal flow and opportunities slowing down in January and February of this year as investors took a moment to re-evaluate market conditions
Since late February, we are seeing more deal flow but execution times have increased and investment terms have moved from being founder-friendly to being more investor-friendly
This environment creates an opportunity for us to invest in businesses at more reasonable valuations
We continue to work with Block and Afterpay executives - we will continue to strengthen our relationship
