Hi everyone!

I am Professor Graham Leach, and I am pleased to be joining the IDEA FACTORY as a Guest Expert!

Allow me to Introduce myself.

My LinkedIn page is located at:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/grahamrleach

Here's some highlights of my career:

Experience

I have worked with companies ranging in size from unnamed startups to MNC like IBM, Microsoft and Bayer.

I worked as a Lecturer at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University for over a decade. I also helped to run its inclubator, designed its Innovation Policy, led its Blockchain Applications Research Lab and wrote its Blockchain courses.

Most recently, I led the Design Marketing Program at the Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation (UAE). I still teach at a Business School (Gratia Christian College) in Hong Kong.

Education

I hold a dual Undergraduate Degree in History & Computer Science, an advanced Diploma in Strategic Management, an MBA from the Management School of the University of Liverpool. I also have an (honorary) Ph.D.

I am a IBM Certified Blockchain Developer and graduate of the Oxford University Blockchain Strategy Programme.

I am delighted to be working with IDEA FACTORY Community Members, Ambassadors and Guest Judges to make the IDEA FACTORY even better in 2023!

Expect to see a bunch of new activities in 2023 as we bring some new ideas to the table and also continue the strong traditions that were established when the IDEA FACTORY was created.

Blockchain Investors Begin Looking to Web3

Blockchain breaks down into five main sectors:

- Centralized finance (CeFi)
- Decentralized finance (DeFi)
- Infrastructure
- Web3
- Non Fungible Tokens (NFT)

In the first half of 2022, total funding for all of the above sectors was around $30 billion, almost as much as the entire year of 2021.

But the crypto winter and the collapse of many crypto-oriented businesses made VCs less keen to invest.

As a result, the total amount raised in the second half of 2022 was only around $7 billion, and dropped as each month passed.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the number of transactions fell to 182, and only five exceeded $100 million in value.

Within this group, investments in the Web3 sector, which includes Metaverse and GameFi, proved to be the most popular. Throughout 2022, the Web3 sector accounted for 616 deals, while CeFi accounted for only 201.

Interestingly, the value of funding was the same at $9.2 billion for both, indicating that the threshold investment cost for Web3 projects is, on average, significantly lower. In fact, the average transaction for Web3 was around $15 million, whereas for CeFi, it was around 46 million.

Overall, funding for Web3 startups fell by almost $7 billion in Q4 2022, from $9.3 billion to $2.4 billion.

DeFi attracted $3.1 billion across 299 deals and NFTs $3 billion in 243 sales.

The infrastructure sector was also popular. Of the 295 financing deals completed, companies managed to raise almost $12 billion in capital, an average of $40.1 million per deal.

In contrast, the least popular were investments in NFTs and CeFi.

Africa Needs Digital Skills

Within the next decade, in Sub-Saharan Africa alone, an estimated 230 million jobs will require digital skills.

An economic transformation of this magnitude offers great opportunity for young women and men to find employment, but only if they have developed the proper digital skills.

But young people in Africa face many barriers that may prevent them from obtaining the needed digital skills required for employment.

Updating and harmonizing educational policy , ensuring equal and fair access to education and a relevant curriculum that reflects actually needed digital skills all contribute to a set of key action points to overcome these barriers, and equip the youth of Africa to embrace the 21st century.

Founders Factory Enters Italy in Partnership with Fastweb

Founders Factory (an early-stage investor and UK company builder) has announced their new partnership with Fastweb (a leading Italian telecommunications company) to launch a new venture studio and accelerator under the Founders Factory brand in Milan, Italy.

More than €2 billion in venture capital has been invested in Italy in the last year, helping position it as a viable competitor to more established European markets elsewhere.
Italy’s growing startup sector helped influence the choice of that nation and Fastweb as a partner.

The London-based startup builder was already working globally, but this partnership means they will not only have a physical presence in Italy but also work closely with a strategic ally. The new venture aims to help up
to 30 startups over the next five years. Founders Factory has already worked across Europe, including Italy, and helped to create 80 startups and scale over 200 startups with its existing accelerator network.

Henry Lane Fox, Founders Factory CEO, says "This will allow ambitious entrepreneurs, from Italy and Southern Europe, to benefit from our wealth of knowledge and expertise of how to build great businesses.”.

Alberto Calcagno, Fastweb’s CEO, notes “this move helps to make Italy a destination of choice for startups looking to launch new businesses.”

(Founders Factory is a prospective downstream partner for IDEA FACTORY startups)
