SUMMARY:Investing in tech startups. Is it still worth it?
DESCRIPTION:Is it still worth investing in tech startups? Some investors 
 are starting to become sceptical about tech startups: for every new prod
 uctivity app\, or the next uber of whatever app\, there are already two 
 or three competitors that already do similar things or\, worse yet\, Big
  Tech can replicate them in no time and drive them of business. Also\, t
 he (current or future) M&amp\;A environment may not be beneficial to ach
 ieve the intended exit valuations. Is the regulatory environment support
 ing international startup investments\, or is regulation hindering inves
 tments? This panel will explore whether it is still a good idea to inves
 t in a tech startup or if it’s time to start looking into other more tra
 ditional ventures\, not necessarily involving “tech”\, i.e.\, services\,
  food\, even cookies.\n
