📢 Silicon Valley Bank just published its "State of Hardware-as-a-Service 2024" report, which found that macro trends such as onshoring, clean energy investment, and increased defense spending are driving demand for hardware and capturing investors' attention. The report also underscores the importance of adaptation, showing that the best companies evolve to meet current demands. As our colleague Samantha Huang noted in the report, “For contract renewals, you may have to take a leap of faith, but hopefully, you see some evidence of renewal or expansion by Series B. Some customers who are replacing OpEx really prefer longer contracts to lock in the ROI for their automation investments." Tech companies enabled by machines now hold the highest share of seed-stage VC in four years, with increasing valuations across every stage. As hardware continues to evolve, it remains indispensable and is continuously adapting to the needs of today’s world. 🚀 #HaaS #VentureCapital #TechTrends #Innovation #siliconvalleybank Read more and download the report ⬇️
