1 SURVEY REPORT 1st Annual Private Tech Investor Survey
2 Highlights From SharesPost s 1 st Annual Private Tech Investor Survey We are pleased to announce the results of SharesPost s first private tech investor sentiment survey. Over 600 accredited individual and institutional tech investors let us know their expectations for the new year. Survey participants represented a wide range of private and public market investment styles. Although such surveys admittedly have a degree of sampling bias, the results were surprisingly consistent. In short, investors of all types are predominantly bullish about the prospects for tech companies in Key highlights include: #1. Bullish prospects for Private Tech company valuations 49% of investors surveyed think private company valuations would increase in 2017 (vs. 28% of investors expect valuations to decrease). This clearly implies a bullish sentiment among investors towards private tech companies, particularly given the downward valuation correction we witnessed through much of We note that the bullbear gap for private tech companies is a bit narrower versus the corresponding gap for public market performance expectations. Slicing the survey data by investor category, we observed that high net worth investors were marginally more bullish about the private market s upside in 2017 than institutional investors. #2. There is a greater enthusiasm for Small/Mid-Cap Tech companies We asked survey respondents their preference between Public Large Cap Tech, Private Large Cap Tech, Public Small/Mid-Cap Tech, Private Small/Mid-Cap Tech, and Early/Seed investments. 29% of the surveyed investors chose Private Small/Mid-Cap Tech followed by 25% of investors believe that Public Small/Mid-Cap Tech companies would provide best returns over the next 12 months. Interestingly, we observed a greater bias among institutional investors towards the Small/Mid-Cap asset classes. In other words, 38% of surveyed VC/PE investors prefer SMID private tech companies and 43% of public equity investors prefer SMID public tech companies. #3. Investors expect roughly 10 Unicorns to go public in next 18 months, in-line with historical levels 65% of surveyed investors think that 10 or fewer Unicorns would go public over the next 18 months, implying a runrate of less than two $1 billion IPOs per quarter. We observed that public equity-focused institutional investors are marginally more optimistic about the IPO prospects of Unicorns as compared to their VC/PE-focused counterparts. On a weighted average basis, public equity investors believe that roughly 11 Unicorns would go public over the next 18 months whereas VC/PE folks estimate 9 such IPOs. Recall that in our earlier report, Zero to One Billion, we illustrated a trendline of real Unicorns i.e. $1B+ IPOs or M&As of VC-backed tech companies. There have been 6-8 $1B+ IPOs of VC-backed tech companies every year since This annual run rate has largely stayed within this range since the Great Recession, with few peaks (2013 and 2014) and valleys (2016). In short, investors expect a reversion to mean IPO activity over the next months, implying an uptick in activity observed in
3 #4. Sectors with highest growth potential are Big Data, Security, VR/AR, and FinTech We asked participants, regardless of investment time horizons, where do you see greatest growth opportunity in the future? We presented 15 options (as illustrated in exhibit 13), and asked investors for their top three choices. Regardless of investor groups or cohorts, we noticed Big Data/Analytics, Security (Software), VR/AR, FinTech, and Wearables (IoT) as the most selected choices whereas Gaming, Ad-Tech, and Clean-Tech as the least selected choices among all investor groups. We were surprised that almost all cohorts of investors, accredited individual vs. institutional or public equity vs. VC/PE investors, seem to generally prefer the long-term growth prospects for Enterprise Software companies above Consumer Mobile or Web Internet companies, particularly given 3 out of 5 most valuable public companies today are in the latter group (GOOGL, AMZN, FB) versus just one in the first group (MSFT). #5. Generally positive bias towards investing in private tech companies via secondary shares About 37% of all surveyed investors think that investing in late-stage, private tech growth companies via secondary shares is an attractive investment strategy. This compares to 23% of surveyed respondents who indicated that secondary shares do not present an attractive investment opportunity. Both private equity and accredited individual investors think positively about investing in this asset class. But, a marginally higher proportion of public equity-focused institutional investors are negatively biased towards this asset class. 35% of public equity investors think that this asset class is not an attractive investment opportunity. This proportion is marginally higher than the 33% of public equity investors who think that secondary share investing is an attractive investment. #6. Investors expect public markets to continue to rally in % of investors surveyed believe the S&P 500 would rise by 5% or more over the next 12 months. On the other hand, 17% of survey respondents believe the S&P 500 would decrease by 5% or more during Institutional investors are marginally more bullish about public markets than individual investors. 64% of surveyed institutional investors are bullish, whereas 53% of accredited individual investors expect public markets to rise 5% or more. This perspective is consistent with the most recent investor sentiment study conducted by American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) from December which reported that 43% of respondents felt bullish versus the 28% feeling bearish. 3
4 Survey Methodology The SharesPost Investor Survey was created to obtain feedback from high net worth accredited individual and institutional investors on market sentiment and sector-specific expectations for The online survey was conducted from November 21 to December 15, We invited accredited individual investors and institutional clients of SharesPost to participate. The anonymity of all survey responses has been maintained and online IP tracking disabled. We received more than 600 completed survey responses. Based on a sample population of between 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 members, we estimate the margin of error for the survey was below ±5% for a 95% confidence interval. As a first question, we asked survey respondents to identify themselves as one of the following: Public equity investor, VC or Private equity investor, Working inside a company, and Other. If survey respondents chose either working inside a company or other, we categorized them as an accredited individual investor. We illustrate the overall breakdown below. Note that unaccredited investors were not invited to participate. Exhibit 1: Please identify yourself. My day job is., 91 respondents 15% 121 respondents 388 respondents 65% ; Accredited survey respondents who indicated that they work inside a company or run their own business were categorized as Accredited individual investors 4
5 #1. Bullish prospects for Private Tech company valuations 49% of investors surveyed think private company valuations would increase in 2017 (vs. 28% of investors expect valuations to decrease). While this implies a generally bullish sentiment among investors towards private tech companies, we d highlight that this bull-bear gap for private tech companies is a bit narrower versus the corresponding gap in the proportion of investors expecting the public markets to rise and fall. Our interpretation? Overall optimism for public markets is more widespread than the optimism for private tech company investing. But, the key point here is that more than 7 of the surveyed investors believe that private tech company valuations would either stay flat or rise over the next 12 months. In addition, we observed that individual PE investors were marginally more bullish than institutional investors and public equity investors, respectively. For context, 75% of surveyed accredited individuals believe that private tech company valuations would stay flat or rise over the next 12 months. This compares to 7, 68%, 65% levels for VC/ PE investors, Institutional investors, and Public equity institutional investors, respectively. Exhibit 2: Over the next 12 months, do you expect valuations of Private Technology Growth companies to go up, down, or remain about the same as in recent couple of quarters? % of investors surveyed think private company valuations would increase in 2017 (vs. 28% of investors expect valuations to decrease) 50 0 Increase Roughly Flat Decrease Exhibit 3: Comparable private tech valuation expectations among Institutional & Accredited Individuals Exhibit 4: VC/PE investors are more optimistic than their public equity counterparts Increase Roughly Flat Decrease Increase Roughly Flat Decrease 5
6 #2. There is a greater enthusiasm for Small/Mid-Cap Tech companies We asked survey respondents specific questions to gauge their preference for specific sectors. We provided five options to chose among: Public Large Cap Tech, Private Large Cap Tech, Public Small/Mid-Cap Tech, Private Small/Mid-Cap Tech, and Early/Seed investments. 29% of the surveyed investors believe that Private Small/Mid- Cap Tech would provide best returns over the next 12 months followed by 25% of investors that believed Public Small/Mid-Cap Tech companies would do so. Institutional investors have a marginally greater bias towards SMIDs versus accredited individuals. 58% of surveyed institutional investors think that Small/Mid-Cap private or public tech companies would yield the best returns over the next 12 months. This compares to a tad lower proportion of 54% of accredited individuals who indicated either public or private small/mid-cap tech companies as their top choice to invest over the next 12 months. VC/PE investors prefer Private SMIDs and public equity institutional investors prefer public SMIDs. We observed a greater bias among institutional investors towards Small/Mid-Cap asset classes. 38% of surveyed VC/PE investors prefer SMID private tech companies and 43% of public equity investors prefer SMID public tech companies. Exhibit 5: Thinking about your investments over the next 12 months, which of the following asset classes do you believe are likely to deliver the best returns? Early-stage/Seed Small/Mid-Cap Private Tech Large Cap Private Tech Small/Mid-Cap Public Tech Large cap Public Tech Exhibit 6: Similar asset class preferences across Institutional & Accredited Individuals Exhibit 7: Public equity investors prefer public SMIDs & VC/PE prefer private SMIDs Early-stage/Seed Early-stage/Seed Small/Mid-cap Private Tech Small/Mid-cap Private Tech Large Cap Private Tech Large Cap Private Tech Small/Mid-cap Public Tech Small/Mid-cap Public Tech Large Cap Public Tech Large Cap Public Tech
7 #3. Investors overall expect roughly 10 Unicorns to go public in next 18 months, in-line with historical levels 65% of surveyed investors think that 10 or fewer Unicorns would go public over the next 18 months, implying a runrate of less than two $1 billion IPOs per quarter. We observed that public equity-focused institutional investors are marginally more optimistic about the IPO prospects of Unicorns as compared to their VC/PE-focused counterparts. Accredited Individuals are more optimistic about Unicorn IPO prospects versus : 45% of surveyed accredited individuals think that there would be more than 10 Unicorn IPOs over the next 18 months. On the other hand, 33% of their institutional counterparts agree with this level of IPO activity. And, the flip side of these statements is also true. Roughly 67% of surveyed institutional investors believe that there would be 10 or fewer Unicorn IPOs over the next 18 months. On average, Institutional investors expect 9 to 11 Unicorn IPOs thru 1H:2018: On a weighted average basis, public equity investors believe that roughly 11 Unicorns would go public over the next 18 months whereas VC/PE folks estimate 9 such IPOs. Interestingly, the investors who are closest to these private companies i.e. the VC/PE investors seem to have the least optimistic view on their IPO prospects over this period. Exhibit 8: How many Unicorn private companies do you expect to go public over the next 18 months? % of investors surveyed think that 10 or fewer Unicorns would go public over the next 18 months; or, less than 2 per quarter <= >20 Exhibit 9: Institutional & Individual Investors have comparable Unicorn IPO expectations Exhibit 10: Public equity investors have slightly higher IPO expectations Vs. VC/PE investors 1 1 <= >20 <= >20 7

9 #5. Generally positive bias towards investing in private tech companies via secondary shares About 37% of all surveyed investors think that investing in late-stage private tech companies via secondary shares is an attractive investment strategy. This compares to 23% of surveyed respondents who indicated that secondary shares do not present an attractive investment opportunity.

10 #6. Investors expect public markets to continue to rally in % of investors surveyed believe the S&P 500 would rise by 5% or more over the next 12 months. On the other hand, 17% of survey respondents believe the S&P 500 would decrease by 5% or more during For context, prior 5-year market returns have been 2.1% in 2011, 16% in 2012, 32.4% in 2013, 13.7% in 2014, and 1.4% in Through Dec , the S&P 500 is up approximately 1. Institutional investors are marginally more bullish about public markets than individual investors. 64% of surveyed institutional investors are bullish whereas 53% of accredited individual investors expect public markets to rise 5% or more. This level of optimism largely ties in the most recent investor sentiment conducted by American Association Of Individual Investors (AAII) that reported which 43% of the surveyed individual investors felt bullish versus 28% feeling bearish in early December. Public equity investors are marginally more bullish about public markets than VC/PE investors. 69% of surveyed public equity investors are bullish whereas 6 of private equity institutional investors expect public markets to rise 5% or more.
