Last week, GSV Capital (GSVC) hosted its third annual Investor Day at GSVlabs, a global innovation platform located in the heart of Silicon Valley. It was a fitting backdrop for the leaders of GSV’s game-changing portfolio companies to share a window to the future of their businesses and the industries they are transforming. We welcomed over 550 attendees and 15 presenting company CEOs. (Disclosure: GSV owns shares in GSVlabs)

While the media has taken to reporting on wounded Unicorns, and increasingly seems to view the optimism in Silicon Valley as a distorted reality field, what’s exciting to us is that innovation is accelerating. The vast majority of GSVC’s portfolio continue to exhibit extraordinary growth characteristics, with expected year-over-year revenue growth exceeding 100%. Some may quibble about appropriate values, but we’re very pleased with the value creation opportunity.

As a liquid, publicly traded stock, GSVC is a unique vehicle that enables public investors to access this asset class, which has increasingly been limited to select venture capital firms and institutional investors. We believe that growth drives enterprise value, and accordingly, our mission is to build a portfolio of the most dynamic, rapidly growing, late-stage private companies — the “Stars of Tomorrow”. (Click HERE to see my opening remarks on the state of play at GSVC, our strategy, and portfolio)

For those who were unable to join us this year, we have curated a video library of 2016 Investor Day speakers, which are discussed below. We hope you enjoy their insights as much as we did.

A NEW XEROX PARC

In 1970, Xerox Corporation launched Xerox PARC in Palo Alto to develop captive innovation for the company. The charter for the initiative was to create “The Office of the Future”. Assembling a world-class team of experts in information technology and physical sciences, Xerox PARC was a catalyst for innovation — it yielded the original design for the personal computer (and famously inspired Steve Jobs to create the first Macintosh), the first Graphical User Interface, and even the computer mouse.

Founded in 2012, GSVlabs accelerates startups and connects corporations to exponential technologies, business models, and entrepreneurs. We believe it has the potential to be a next generation Xerox PARC.

At the core of GSVlabs is a community of game-changing entrepreneurs focused on key verticals, including Big Data, Sustainability, Education Technology (EdTech), Entertainment, and Mobile. GSVlabs is home to over 170 startups, which raised $200 million in 2015.

As the access point to a startup ecosystem, major corporations like AT&T, Intel, IBM, Intuit, the Times of India, and JetBlue choose to partner with GSVlabs in order to launch new initiatives, identify talent, attack new markets, and propel new business models. GSVlabs creates value through this virtuous circle, attracting and accelerating promising entrepreneurs, while providing targeted innovation services for forward-thinking corporations. (Click HERE for the recently-published GSVlabs white paper on the future of corporate innovation).

Beyond serving as the perfect setting for this year’s Investor Day, GSVlabs is a key asset our shareholders — it is 70%+ owned by GSV Capital. GSVlabs sits at the intersection of proven models — co-working platforms like WeWork ($16 billion valuation), which generate recurring revenue from startups, and accelerators like Y-Combinator, which capture equity in potentially game-changing businesses (Y-Combinator alumni include Dropbox and Airbnb, valued at $10 billion and $26 billion, respectively). (Disclosure: GSV owns shares in Dropbox)

In May 2016, GSVlabs announced a partnership with the $2 billion venture capital arm of the Times of India to launch two centers in India — one in Bangalore and one in Delhi (Gurgaon). We envision GSVlabs expanding to the top innovation centers around the World.

Coursera is an education platform that partners with top universities and organizations worldwide, offering free and paid courses for anyone to take.

The twin forces of globalization and automation are making career obsolescence a new reality. You can no longer fill up your knowledge tank until age 25 and drive off through life. Effective workers will be refilling their “knowledge tank” continuously. In this new paradigm, education technology platforms like Coursera will be like air — invisible, ubiquitous, and life-sustaining. Living will be learning.

GLOBAL SILICON VALLEY

Beyond the leaders of our portfolio companies, we featured two discussions on key trends that are shaping the Global Silicon Valley.

Sustainability

The good news is that the world’s middle class will more than double to five billion over the next 15 years. The bad news is that the strain this will put on the environment will be extreme, with wealthier people traveling more, consuming more, and using more electricity for everything — from air conditioning to lighting larger homes. Sustainability is not just green technology — it is water and wellness.

There is no longer a debate between being “green” or “growing” — both are important. Water is even more precious, with California’s drought being a living example of how vital access to “blue gold” is for everything. Despite the prolonged slump in oil prices, Moore’s Law has taken effect with numerous sustainable technologies being able to compete on cost with dirty fossil fuels.

GSV Shared-X Chairman John Denniston, a leading authority on green-tech investing and a former Investment Partner at Kleiner Perkins, discussed the state of play in global sustainability, including the 10 megatrends that are driving the industry.

India Rising

GSV stands for “Global Silicon Valley”, reflecting our belief that Silicon Valley is no longer just a physical place. It is a mindset that has gone global and viral. No longer are the most innovative ideas limited to the corridor between San Francisco and San Jose. They have spread to Austin and Boston; from Chicago to Sao Paulo; from Mumbai to Shanghai to Dubai.

In this spirit, we were pleased to welcome Satyan Gajwani, the Managing Director of Times Internet — the digital arm of India’s largest media company, the Times Group — as a guest speaker. For context, the Times Group publishes the Times of India, the most widely circulated English-language newspaper in the world, as well as the Economic Times, the second most widely read business publication behind the Wall Street Journal. It also commands a broad range of TV, radio, internet, and publishing assets.

He also discussed his company’s strategy to invest in, acquire, and partner with emerging technology platforms that can compliment core Times Internet offerings, including recently announced deals with Uber, Coursera, and Airbnb.

While we remain in a directionless market, growth fundamentals for many of our favorite names remain strong. Currently, we look to keep our positions in leading growth companies.

Connecting With Next Door

Initially started as an online, crowdsourced almanac of professional and college athletes, a startup then called Fanbase pivoted and become Nextdoor — a social network for your neighborhood. The idea was to have a private community network which allows neighbors to communicate, to exchange recommendations on where to eat, to find a baby sitter, to find a handyman, a doctor, a petsitter, etc.

When Fanbase re-launched as Nextdoor in 2011, it piggy-backed on Facebook’s emerging supremacy in the social media space, and it targeted a niche area that was not addressed by any other network. Facebook was too broad and too big to allow people to easily find their neighbors. Google had the same issue. So Nextdoor expanded its footprint, quickly growing to 14K neighborhoods in June 2013, then to 53K in March 2015, and it currently counts over 99,000 neighborhoods, or more than 60% of all U.S. neighborhoods. And most recently, Nextdoor also launched in the Netherlands — the perfect country for that model. (Disclosure: GSV owns shares in Facebook, Alphabet).

Source: Based on company announcements, GSV estimates

Nextdoor hasn’t been disclosing much information other than the neighborhood count, but in March 2015, they stated that 63% of all Nextdoor members engage with the network on a weekly basis. Also, management recently stated that on average, there are 750 households in a neighborhood, and that they are adding 100 neighborhoods per day.

Assuming the 750 households implies 750 users (I doubt a household will have two users on Nextdoor), this translates into 74 million total users. If engagement is still at around 63% on a weekly basis, I estimate monthly engagement to be ~70%. This implies that monthly active users (MAUs) are around ~52 million and growing in the 50-60% range, similar to the number of neighborhoods growth.

If the above estimates are accurate, Nextdoor would be comparable to Tencent (WeChat), Snapchat, and Instagram from a user growth perspective, however with a significantly smaller MAU size. (Disclosure: GSV owns shares in Facebook, Tencent, Snapchat).

Given that Nextdoor has yet to start to monetize — and it will most likely do so through displaying (local) ads — it is also comparable to freemium social network models such as Pinterest, Soundcloud, or Yelp.

There hasn’t been much information on the user demographics, but my guess is that the majority of Nextdoor users are families older than millennials, and more likely moms that dads. Why do I think so? — Young, millennial generation families are more likely to 1) use Facebook/WhatsApp/Snapchat for communication, 2) use Thumbtack/Taskrabbit/Angie’s List for finding a handyman or plumber, 3) use Care.com for finding a babysitter, 4) use Yelp or Google for finding a restaurant, 5) use DogVacay for finding a dog sitter, etc. (Disclosure: GSV owns shares in DogVacay).

With $210 million raised from A-class investors including Benchmark, Kleiner, Tiger Global and Greylock, Nextdoor is valued at $1.1 billion. While many data-points indicate that Nextdoor could be onto something big, it has yet to be seen if its engagement is strong enough to attract large marketing budgets, and if it can monetize as well as some of their comps.

You wake up. There’s a notification on your watch. It’s your doctor asking you to take a home saliva sample. You do using a smart phone compatible sensor and send it off. 10 minutes later, you receive a summary and you are automatically scheduled for an appointment with your doctor next week.

Of course your watch already knows what’s on your calendar.

This is just a glimpse of our future experience with health and with knowing our own mind and body.

Even today, 49% of patients globally wear or would be willing to wear technology that measures and tracks both fitness/lifestyle and vital signs.

Our experience with our bodies and our team of healthcare providers will be drastically altered over the coming years.

To explore this transformation, GSVlabs is partnering with IBM and Stanford Children’s Hospital to host Digital Wellness Innovation Showcase on Tuesday, June 21, 2016.

The digital health revolution is still in its early days and consumer adoption will be picking up in the years to come.

As industry participants are sensing opportunities here, funding for digital health startups have been steadily increase both in the US and globally.

At the Digital Wellness Innovation Showcase, we are bringing together the world’s leading startups, investors, global corporations and non-profits to examine the next generation of connected health & wellness technology. Hear from 15+ Digital Health & Wellness startups that are providing consumers 24/7 precision wellness and moving healthcare beyond the doctor’s office.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in an Innovation Think Tank, sharing their insights and ideas for how Stanford Children’s Hospital can leverage AI and social platforms to expand support for some of the most vulnerable members of our society.

Join us on June 21st for a glimpse into next generation of Digital Health & Wellness.
