Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/76c490c9/venture_capital_in) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Venture Capital Investment Trends in the United States Automotive Industry" to their offering.
This study analyzes venture capital investment trends in the United States automotive market during the past decade. Drivers and restraints for VC funding and factors that are looked for in a company before funding are discussed. How a funded company benefits is also studied. The breakup of the investments by region within the United States and the preferences of the sub-classification within the automotive market among the VC community are provided, as well as the outlook for VC funding.
DRIVERS EXPLAINED
Government Initiatives
A VC's portfolio is highly risky as they invest in companies that are prone to many uncertainties. Government initiatives, suchas tax reductions and subsidies, could help entrepreneurs as well as VCs in reducing their capital expenditure and seeing areturn on their investment sooner. This can drive VC activity.
High Gasoline Prices
VCs are very bullish on investments that would create green environment. Automotives is considered a subcategory of the clean environment sector among many VC investors. Thus, higher crude oil prices creates more need for alternative energy sources in sectors where VCs do heavy investing. There is a positive correlation between VC investments in value and crude oil prices over the years.
Customer Demand
Customers are responsible for driving change. Their preference towards adopting a new technology in the powertrain domain and other sub-classifications, such as telematics, influences VC funding. Also, speed of adoption is important because it helps reduce the payback period. Looking at recent trends, any investment related to technology in powertrain, driver interface (navigation maps, parking assist), and clean energy is expected to get back investment more quickly because of higher demand for these technologies.

Research and Markets: Venture Capital Investment Trends in the United States Automotive Industry
(PRWEB UK) 21 March 2012
Streaming solutions provider SimpleStream has announced at the IPTV World Forum that it is to launch its own OTT consumer television platform called TVPlayer in Q2 2012. A member of the Digital TV Group, SimpleStream has quickly established itself as a service provider for broadcasters and content owners, helping them develop their own OTT solutions in the UK market. Having recently secured additional rounds of investment, SimpleStream will use its proprietary OTT technologies and CDN infrastructure to launch TVPlayer initially in the UK this summer with ambitious plans to move into Europe and beyond in Q1 2013.
TVPlayer will offer premium UK channels across multiple devices giving the end user total control and choice over how, when and where they view their TV. The rich EPG that has been developed in house, will enable the user to scroll backwards and catchup on content they have may have missed in the last 7 days, offering similar functionality to that of TiVo and YouView without the need for a set top box. The final channel line up will be announced in due course and those interested can sign up for the beta test by registering at tvplayer.com.
Dan Finch, Commercial Director of SimpleStream commented: Despite media speculation that video on demand is where we are all heading, linear TV still dominates TV consumption with more people watching more linear TV than ever before. Consumers still like to be guided what to watch either via an EPG or a recommendations engine -- that is at the heart of TVPlayer. The proliferation of viewing across multiple devices is a clear demonstration of the public demand to consume TV in a different way. As well as some fantastic content at a competitive price point, the ability to navigate via an enriched EPG will be the key to the success of TVPlayer.
