Ya se ha hablado del IaaS anteriormente en estos posts y ya se ha comentado que El IaaS es una estructura que permite a las empresas utilizar sistemas operativos y aplicaciones basados en la web sin tener que desarrollar y/o adquirir una infraestructura propia en la nube. El del IaaS es un sector innovador y estrechamente dependiente del desarrollo tecnológico.

IaaS: SECTOR INNOVADOR CON UN GRAN RIESGO

Desde el 2010 han sido creadas 362 empresas dedicadas al IaaS, de las cuales hoy en día solamente siguen activas 299. Este hecho refleja, por una parte, la corta edad del sector, ya que se podría decir que el 100% de las empresas existentes hoy en día han sido creadas en los últimos 9 años. Por otra parte, también enseña el gran riesgo que tienen las empresas de nueva creación que empiezan su actividad en este sector, ya que tienen una gran probabilidad de default.

En total, se han invertido 3,62 billones de dólares en el sector del IaaS a nivel global y hoy en día, las empresas líderes en el sector son las estadounidenses Cisco, valorado en 186 billones de dólares, Rackspace y Flexera.

INVESTMENT ANALYSIS

La mayor parte de las rondas lanzadas para captación de fondos han sido en etapa semilla o Seed, 171 rondas exactamente. Otras 93 rondas se hicieron en etapas tempranas o Early Stages de las empresas de nueva creación.

En este último año también ha habido inversiones importantes en el mercado del IaaS, aunque al ser un sector emergente, las rondas de inversión no han sido tan intensivas en capital como en otros mercados. Por ejemplo, la start-up Storyblok GmbH recibió 2,5 millones de dólares en su primera ronda, cuando aun estaba en etapa seed y, como destacamos en nuestro post anterior a cerca del sector IaaS,  la compañía EMnify también captó fondos por casi 8,8 millones de dólares en su ronda A.

Technology Data Analytics
for M&A
Advanced data anlytics is a weapon". Intelfin is an artificial intelligence tool we use for investing and creating value in SMEs through competitive analytics and the enterprise environment.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
Training Methodology
We have developed training programs in an innovative set-up which guarantees our teams the acquisition of technical competences both in the field of corporate finance and in the field of psychology, that is much needed when it comes to negotiation processes.

We have a culture of continuous improvement of our processes, closely related to the use of information systems that allow the enhancement of internal communication between our teams, as well as external communication with our customers. Hence, we extend best practices identified internally in an efficient and rapid manner among our members.
