The start of yet again a new year. The past year, 2011, has been an, eh, interesting year. Many challenges and uncertainties have marred the investment playing field and arena. Before the year ended some were actually speculating if not expecting the euro as a currency would falter. Think we are now more than over the worst of it, and are heading towards a more stable year. One thing we have learned from this global financial crises is that we can no longer think we can look 3-5 years ahead. By now I think we should be lucky to look 9-12 months ahead.
Another byproduct of the crises is that more and more people choose for the entrepreneurship. That is an excellent development. Most likely not for the right reasons, but a good development nonetheless.
The upcoming year will be an exciting and stimulating one. Have a start-up event in Singapore, the annual Angels Investor conference in Melbourne, two roughly 6-8 week trips to America, and an intensive period of traveling throughout Europe. Hope everyone will be as exciting as us, and we look forwards to a great year.
