STARTUP OUTLOOK SURVEY

Silicon Valley Bank presents Startup Outlook 2017, the bank’s annual
report on the health of the innovation economy. This year, it comes at
a time of signifcant transition around the world and opportunity in
the innovation sector. In its eighth year, the Startup Outlook survey
asks entrepreneurs to share what they are thinking about business
conditions, access to capital and talent and the critical policy issues
that help or hinder their success.
Nearly 950 technology and healthcare executives, primarily from
theUnited States, United Kingdom and China, participated in the
survey, which was conducted shortly afer the November 2016
UnitedStates presidential election. Given this timing, we did
recognize some uncertainty in the responses from what is historically
an optimistic group. As the United States transitions to a new
administration and the United Kingdom negotiates Brexit, startup
sentiments and markets may shif when policies and priorities become
clearer. In China, we’re seeing similar themes as the country navigates
a historic transition from an industrial to an innovation economy.
Against this backdrop, there is good news. The innovation sector is
building strength afer a healthy recalibration in 2016. Public markets
have bounced back, jobs reports are more optimistic, investors are
doing deals, valuations are corrected, more funding options are
available and the exit market has improved. No matter where they are
located, at least 85 percent of entrepreneurs are expecting M&A, the
ultimate exit for most startups, to increase or stay the same. In the
United States, SVB is predicting the number of venture capital-backed
IPOs to double or even triple over 2016.
Here’s what else we see: There is more potential now for innovation
to thrive than in the last 25 years. The breadth of opportunity created
by old-world industries being transformed by technology continues to
expand globally. Still, companies forming now will have to prove their
value with a higher bar as investors continue to identify opportunities
with the most promise. We have a long-term positive outlook for the
innovation economy, but individual startups will face challenges.
It’s the nature of the business of building disruptive companies. So
mindful of the unicorn lineup awaiting exits, we will not be surprised
to see companies struggle and fail this year, potentially even more
than in recent years. This is healthy innovation.
Thank you for your interest in Startup Outlook 2017.We hope the
fndings can be useful as you chart your own path or follow this sector.
Looking globally, the opportunities for innovation are abundant.

About the Startup Outlook 2017 survey
Peerless Insights Survey, a third-party frm, conducted the Startup Outlook 2017 survey online on Silicon Valley Bank’s behalf from November 14, 2016, to January 3, 2017.
U.S. Startup Outlook 20174
Following a year of healthy recalibration, U.S. startups are
guardedly optimistic about 2017. The transition to a new
administration in Washington, D.C., combined with investors
gaining more power over entrepreneurs, brings some
uncertainty. Still, the M&A environment is strong, and not
only are most startups hiring, there are signs that fnding
the right talent may be getting easier. Innovation continues
to be a key driver of the U.S. economy in 2017.
