Although capital "wind" blowing excitedly, but in the field of intelligent hardware, have another story: a VR summit after another, robot products one by one, the figure of BAT busy behind the smart car.This pie under hot, nature is little not capital "push.VR, for example, in the first quarter of this year only global financing amount is $217 million, more than by nearly 8% over the previous quarter.In addition, robot, intelligent auto industry investment data is also very bright eye.So, under the surrounding of capital, VR, robot, intelligent vehicle, who will take the lead in breed a unicorn?
VR: a pit, full of "gold mine"
Two years ago, when Facebook CEO mark zuckerberg bite the teeth to sign his name in the purchase agreement, the giant took $2 billion after completed the acquisition of Oculus.This scene, it is a lot of people to VR industry for the first time.At that time, more and more people don't know what VR was.But time forward for two years, just as we have seen, a whole new world to upside down in the blink of an eye.
In the first quarter of this year, with three international VR giant Oculus, Sony, HTC released a new generation of consumer products, incoming who have chanted VR first arrived.Now, in this industry, the more entrepreneurs than VR products, and more than the entrepreneur is to focus on investors in this field.At the same time, some have the temperament of "unicorn" startup emerge unceasingly.
Although bad-mouthing the voice of the market, according to iresearch, according to a report released the latest domestic VR hardware developer financing still account for 51.9% of the industry as a whole VR, visible at the beginning of the development of VR industry, update of VR hardware equipment of iteration is still the most attention of investors, is also the most competitive sector.The VR investment interesting place, although the risk of investment of hardware is extremely high, but the bureau is still an endless stream.
"VR is a gold mine is full of pit", this is the attitude to VR, many investors cautious optimism, always believe that VR prospect is bright.So, in the capital market, the story of VR will go on forever.And the next VR unicorn, perhaps slowly walking towards us.
Robot: hot industry, but the financing difficult difficult difficult
In addition to the VR, domestic capital has been eyeing are represented by the robot of artificial intelligence.
From amazing robots dancing in the evening, in the spring of 2016 to the recent Google Alpha GO with lee se-dol "battle of the century", "robot tornado blew over and over again.And natural capital market can't ignore the craze, coupled with the national policy support, so we see, some robots domestic enterprises to stand out.
The current domestic enterprise has more than 4000 claims do robots, with national industrial policy measures to support and encouragement, the expansion trend may continue, but awkward is, at present, the development of the domestic robot is still on the low end of the field and the price competition.
Although some domestic robot company is enjoying the capital "bath", but in this industry, the financing difficult problem has dogged.Robot industry belongs to the forward industry, long payback period, investors need to long-term investment.Nowadays, domestic robot industry capital has "burns" had been made, and if the back of the "walk" couldn't keep up with, out of danger at any moment, finally leave is probably to ashes.
Smart cars: money also to fill the "pit" on the road
"It's a car heading for the future."In the field of hardware, smart car is capital in recent years very popular object.Whether Google's self-driving car or apple, code-named "Project Titan" pure electric vehicles, smart cars from already has from pure instead of walking tool as "the next Internet portal", and at the same time it brings infinite imaginary space to the capital.
At home, with the BAT and Letv incoming, the smart car industry quietly entered the "warring states period".
At present domestic Internet companies "building cars" are not generally the traditional automotive industry play, nor the tesla model, but opted for a compromise, not participate in the manufacture of auto parts, but through the way of strategic cooperation and investment, added genes and Internet technology to the car company, make its have the "Internet" become a electric cars.
Although promising smart car industry, its development is faced with infrastructure, security, law and ethics, etc.A smart car to really like people are expected to be "smart" on the road, I'm afraid to bypass the many, many "pit".
conclusion
In retrospect, intelligent hardware market has not fully erupted, from previous years of mobile phones, wearable devices, to today's VR, robot, intelligent vehicle, different stages have different investment "discourse".While the Internet is a traditional manufacturing industry, seemingly not take two industries under the trend of mobile Internet, but together happen chemical reaction, by the potential of transforming industry.In the present moment, VR, robots or smart cars behind maybe is expecting a unicorn.
