Good opportunities. Despite the crisis, investors continue to bet on startups.

In a survey conducted by Gávea Angels last month, more than half of respondents say that, according to their estimates and expectations, the Covid-19 crisis will last approximately six months. But the most interesting and worth mentioning fact is the fact that 44.9% of participants said that their willingness to invest in startups has not changed in this period we are living. In addition to this answer option, two others were available: whether predisposition increased or decreased. That is, almost half of the interviewees understand that the crisis due to coronavirus does not impact their decision to invest or not in good business. In addition, 75.5% of participants said they consider the crisis an opportunity to find cheaper deals and that valuations that were inflated are likely to reach the actual price in this period. They also pointed out that this becomes a good time to invest in health startups and telemedicine-related businesses, approved and regulated. According to the opinion of those who participated in the research, artificial intelligence and healthtechs are the areas that will have the most opportunities with the arrival of the new coronavirus. Asked whether their willingness to invest in startups has gone up or not has changed, the arguments have been substantiated and show that most investors really understand what they are doing. Among these are again the discovery of new business opportunities. After all, what will not be lacking are new problems to solve and want to be part of it and be close is the desire of real investors in startups. In addition to the capital allocation strategy and the risk-return ratio (based on other classes and assets). It is clear that the moment requires more caution than ever before, but the reasons presented above also show that good opportunities are available and that crises, however overwhelming they may be, are fleeting. The basic goal of every investor is to earn a return above inflation. Even so, achieving this goal can be difficult using traditional options. Investments in startups are for medium and long term, that is, if you have money available to do so, this moment can represent an excellent investment opportunity. The fact is that the crisis opens a positive scenario for startups. Not to mention that investing in a startup is believing in a product or service that must exist to make life easier for many people, by offering an innovative way to do something. That is, this is an opportunity for investors to actively participate in this process of building and solving new problems that we will face. Note that, in general, technology startups grow amid crises, multiplying the number of customers and investors looking for long-term profit.
