Where Capital Goes Next
summary
2015 proves strong for VC — bigger rounds, more exits and full coffers — but several hyped areas underperform: consumer IoT grows slowly, VR stays niche, blockchain lacks a killer app, and machine learning mainly helps firms with big data pools. Fintech, autonomous driving and same‑day delivery accelerate fast; dating app Happen hits 10 million users in 10 months. Investors raise larger funds, corporate VCs multiply, Europe shows real IPOs and global winners (Deliveroo, Farfetch, Auto1) and shifts toward unit economics and sustainability.
