Abu Dhabi Rosewood - Rosewood A

Following the record high valuations and increased deal flow of 2021, particularly within the technology ecosystem, 2022 has proven to be an increasingly volatile investment period for many investors. However, some general partners are employing creative measures to find opportunities to deploy capital on both the public and private side in technology investing. This panel will discuss how the current market cycle provides opportunity for creative investing strategies including the structuring of downside protected securities, selective deployment of capital in the public markets and participation in non-traditional growth rounds which could help drive future returns. Join us for a discussion of the future opportunity set within the technology investing landscape.
