Is It Still Possible To Get Funding In 2023?

Yes.

If your idea, concept, or service makes sense – and importantly – that you are able to demonstrate that then sure, you can get funding.

Despite all the horrendous turmoil that’s been going on since COVID hit us, VC firms are still funding startups here in Hong Kong.

As market chaos mounts and coronavirus uncertainty continue to persist Hong Kong private markets are feeling the pressure, but they have been funding.

Private equity and venture capital are equipped to weather such storms (within reason) but it won’t be a smooth ride for them, not least in Hong Kong, a city that has really had a difficult time since June 2019.

It’s a mixed bag understanding how Coronavirus will impact PE and VC fundraising and deal sourcing but what we do know is this: a clever investor will always back the jockey over the horse and if you’re idea and execution is solid then sure, your can still get funding.
