The future of investment decision-making is here, and it's digital. Recently, Nikolay Shestak, a Partner at Zubr Capital, highlighted the trending influence of social media on the investment decision-making process. With the increasing use of AI technology, this is set to take a giant leap by 2024. Research by the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania back in 2022 already affirmed the pivotal role social media plays in mitigating capital-raising inequalities. Furthermore, the digital conduct of tech startups has been found to significantly impact the investment decisions of private players. For TMT companies, the future is clear.

Step up your social game and gain a substantial edge in attracting capital. Let the power of social media lead the future of investments. https://lnkd.in/dHU5R4RY #InvestmentTrends #SocialMediaInfluence #CapitalAttraction
