Big Trends Shaping Venture Capital in 2024

In the final podcast of 2023, Aaron and Alex share data on the evolving psyche of the North American venture capital investor.

For the most part, it was a challenging year for Canadian investors as mining stocks lagged, and overall investment activity was well below the boom years of 2021 and early 2022. Soaring interest rates and record interest payment spending led many Canadians to tighten their belts and reduce speculative bets. But, with numerous rate cuts anticipated in 2024, the investment landscape will look very different this time next year.

Aaron and Alex discuss what startup CEOs should focus on and the positivity creeping back into venture markets, including the TSXV… A surge in private equity activity points to renewed optimism and potentially higher volumes across the small and micro-cap markets in 2024.

A.I. and Nuclear Energy to Garner Capital in 2024

A.I. and energy policy are the driving forces behind big changes in our world right now…

Nuclear energy and uranium miners may be poised for a golden era if COP28’s ambitions come to pass.

Additionally, many investors fail to realize that A.I. may be behind a coming surge in demand for silver and precious metals.

According to Metals Focus, an independent precious metals research consultancy, increased demand for chips powering A.I. technology will drive “widespread support for a range of precious metals bearing components.”

In other words, demand for gold and silver could soar in 2024 and beyond due to the global rollout of all things A.I.

Silver demand hit a record 1.24 billion ounces in 2022 and will likely run hot over the next several years. And if A.I. isn’t the catalyst for a surge in silver demand, the green revolution should be…
