Impact of COVID-19

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced every part of global business, including venture capital investment. COVID-19 has created less swiftness in the investment pool and also an extra risk aversion as venture capital investment activity has been lowered on a global scale. Due to COVID-19, many small and medium businesses have been stopped and most of the businesses have been liquidated.

Also, the volatility of the foreign exchange market, the portfolio's valuation deduction, and problems with current investments have all contributed to a worsening of the financial performance assets of SMEs.

Similarly, mergers, Initial Public Offers (IPO), and acquisitions are stalled in the global market. Therefore, seed venture capital investment has constantly been denied due to the look of investors for mature and well-established companies for their investments. Due to this, the venture capital investment market has been negatively impacted by COVID-19.
