Hello Ecosystem,

Hope you’re well and safe.

For this 2nd week here is a freshly baked edition of the VC Barometer.

Any crisis comes with its share of danger and opportunity (well known Chinese ideogram). In this one we’re told to stay at home: will containment lead to a massive explosion of digital uses ? What do VCs think about that ? Are there topics on which they will want to focus specifically? Are there many participations impacted positively by this context? One the other hand, what part of the portfolio will they have to bridge in the coming weeks? What are the topics they will not want to hear about for some time ?

What is new also about this week is the international dimension of this edition. Out the 82 represented VC funds, half of them do cross border investments and one quarter is based out of France. We are very happy to count them in. This gives the opportunity to compare these different groups: is France an exception in terms reaction ?

Many thanks to the 100 VCs who have joined us in this initiative. We wish you all an excellent reading!
