This report focuses on the funding raised by blockchain-enabled startups globally.
Netscribes followed a structured research and analysis approach for this deep-dive study.
An outline of the shortlisting methodology and the comprehensive approach followed in
assessing startups and deriving the ‘Startup Funding Investment’ insights is outlined below:
▪ A set of over 7,000 companies focused on blockchain were identified through secondary
research by leveraging organic as well as inorganic data sources
▪ In a subsequent step, the startups were further retained (more than 1,500) as per the
following criteria:
❑ Those founded post-2014
❑ Those with disclosed fundraising activity
▪ As we wanted to keep the focus of this study on the key industry verticals including
Healthcare, Automotive, Agri-Food and Industry 4.0, the startups shortlisted from the
previous step were retained to better assess the impact of investments on these
verticals with a significant impact on the block chain value chain while also involve
major industry stakeholders. Horizontal blockchain applications such as supply chain,
cryptocurrency, etc. have not been focused in the current study.
For deriving the ‘M&A Investment Insights’, no time-based or industry vertical shortlisting
criteria has been used to identify deals.
Note: Graphs have been plotted based on disclosed funding data (as per availability) to
identify the investment and M&A trends incorporated in this report. However, undisclosed
funding events have been considered for the calculation of deal counts in graphs (for the
graphs providing insights based on the number of deals involving startups) although
funding amounts corresponding to them could not be considered for analysis.
SAMPLE REPORT
Blockchain Today
A pivotal force behind the meteoric rise (although on a downward trajectory
at present) of cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology is now driving
disruption in other industries. There has been an uptick in the adoption of
blockchain in digital enterprises and digital-first organizations, a number that
is witnessing a significant growth with each passing day.
At the other end, startups have begun leading the integration of blockchain
in real business applications through unique disruptive solutions.
SAMPLE REPORT
Study Highlights
Over the years, the investment in blockchain-focused startups has both picked up as well as significantly
morphed. Newly proposed or created regulations, accommodative policies, and growth in all-round
technology adoption are some key factors driving such a transition.
The growing adoption of blockchain across various industry verticals and horizontals is helping drive
innovative solutions that are addressing industry challenges with increased vigor. However, for the
successful adoption of blockchain, it has become evident that significant benefits for industry
stakeholders are essential and the technology should create an impact along the entire industry vertical
and across their value chains.
Recent investment trends highlight the strategic thinking of global investors to rally around
cryptocurrency, financial services, and supply chain management verticals in order to monetize on factors
such as ease of technology adoption, increased interest in cryptocurrency, etc. However, in this report, NS
has focused on industry verticals - Healthcare, Automotive, Agri-Food and Industry 4.0, which have a
significant impact on a larger set of industry stakeholders and are expected to ensure maximization of
stakeholder returns.
Looking at the statistics and the current state of ICOs launched during 2017 and 2018, it is evident that
these investments have neither benefitted the investors nor the other participants. This failure can be
attributed to the inability of investors to understand the technology, or the under-performance of tokens,
or both.
Over the last year or so, the ICO hype has in fact slowed down dramatically, while equity funding in
blockchain companies has taken the front seat. Additionally, there is an increasing need for tangible
components including consulting, business guidelines, scalability, connection to the industry influencers,
and proof of concept, besides funding for startups to ensure success. Moreover, startups too are looking
for long-term investment relationships that can be fulfilled only through equity funding.

Blockchain: Healthcare
Investment Scenario
SAMPLE REPORT
The core technology of Blockchain has greater potential than the mere
transformational traits it displayed in impacting the digital currency segment
(Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.). Blockchain-driven digital transformation and
technological advancements across the healthcare sector, including identity
management and secure data analytics for providers, patients, practitioners
and even pharmaceutical firms are just a few notable trends. The healthcare
industry, however, comes with its own set of challenges – lack of
interoperability and limited linkage between healthcare storage systems –
related to the management of medical data. These challenges could impede
the growth of blockchain in this segment.
Blockchain however, is increasingly emerging as the solution for
interoperability and security issues that plague traditional healthcare
systems.

  • 3. Methodology & Assumptions Shortlisting of Startups 7,000+ Founded Post-2014 Disclosed Fund Raising Activity Emergent Verticals Healthcare, Automotive, Agri-Food & Industry 4.0 This report focuses on the funding raised by blockchain-enabled startups globally. Netscribes followed a structured research and analysis approach for this deep-dive study. An outline of the shortlisting methodology and the comprehensive approach followed in assessing startups and deriving the ‘Startup Funding Investment’ insights is outlined below: ▪ A set of over 7,000 companies focused on blockchain were identified through secondary research by leveraging organic as well as inorganic data sources ▪ In a subsequent step, the startups were further retained (more than 1,500) as per the following criteria: ❑ Those founded post-2014 ❑ Those with disclosed fundraising activity ▪ As we wanted to keep the focus of this study on the key industry verticals including Healthcare, Automotive, Agri-Food and Industry 4.0, the startups shortlisted from the previous step were retained to better assess the impact of investments on these verticals with a significant impact on the block chain value chain while also involve major industry stakeholders. Horizontal blockchain applications such as supply chain, cryptocurrency, etc. have not been focused in the current study. For deriving the ‘M&A Investment Insights’, no time-based or industry vertical shortlisting criteria has been used to identify deals. Note: Graphs have been plotted based on disclosed funding data (as per availability) to identify the investment and M&A trends incorporated in this report. However, undisclosed funding events have been considered for the calculation of deal counts in graphs (for the graphs providing insights based on the number of deals involving startups) although funding amounts corresponding to them could not be considered for analysis. SAMPLE REPORT
  • 4. Blockchain Today A pivotal force behind the meteoric rise (although on a downward trajectory at present) of cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology is now driving disruption in other industries. There has been an uptick in the adoption of blockchain in digital enterprises and digital-first organizations, a number that is witnessing a significant growth with each passing day. At the other end, startups have begun leading the integration of blockchain in real business applications through unique disruptive solutions. SAMPLE REPORT
  • 5. Study Highlights Over the years, the investment in blockchain-focused startups has both picked up as well as significantly morphed. Newly proposed or created regulations, accommodative policies, and growth in all-round technology adoption are some key factors driving such a transition. The growing adoption of blockchain across various industry verticals and horizontals is helping drive innovative solutions that are addressing industry challenges with increased vigor. However, for the successful adoption of blockchain, it has become evident that significant benefits for industry stakeholders are essential and the technology should create an impact along the entire industry vertical and across their value chains. Recent investment trends highlight the strategic thinking of global investors to rally around cryptocurrency, financial services, and supply chain management verticals in order to monetize on factors such as ease of technology adoption, increased interest in cryptocurrency, etc. However, in this report, NS has focused on industry verticals - Healthcare, Automotive, Agri-Food and Industry 4.0, which have a significant impact on a larger set of industry stakeholders and are expected to ensure maximization of stakeholder returns. Looking at the statistics and the current state of ICOs launched during 2017 and 2018, it is evident that these investments have neither benefitted the investors nor the other participants. This failure can be attributed to the inability of investors to understand the technology, or the under-performance of tokens, or both. Over the last year or so, the ICO hype has in fact slowed down dramatically, while equity funding in blockchain companies has taken the front seat. Additionally, there is an increasing need for tangible components including consulting, business guidelines, scalability, connection to the industry influencers, and proof of concept, besides funding for startups to ensure success. Moreover, startups too are looking for long-term investment relationships that can be fulfilled only through equity funding. SAMPLE REPORT

  • 11. The core technology of Blockchain has greater potential than the mere transformational traits it displayed in impacting the digital currency segment (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.). Blockchain-driven digital transformation and technological advancements across the healthcare sector, including identity management and secure data analytics for providers, patients, practitioners and even pharmaceutical firms are just a few notable trends. The healthcare industry, however, comes with its own set of challenges – lack of interoperability and limited linkage between healthcare storage systems – related to the management of medical data. These challenges could impede the growth of blockchain in this segment. Blockchain however, is increasingly emerging as the solution for interoperability and security issues that plague traditional healthcare systems. Findings Key SAMPLE REPORT
