TechMutiny Insight SPECIAL REPORT: An IPO listing on the stock exchange and the masses of capital it brings is a far-away dream many successful tech start-ups eventually might have to face. But as Facebook, Spotify and Tesla can testify, the public trading of shares comes at a price. We mined through some high-profile IPO applications to discover even they had predicted some of the pitfalls to come.

Could investors be doing more to back the tech start-ups revolutionizing the media, entertainment and creative (MEC) industries?

Here are some of the surprising findings in the inaugural TechMutiny Insights research report:

A majority of the interviewees (56%) said they had a tough time topping up their original seed investment.

Corporate investment from the MEC industries is also lacking as the biggest single share of those questioned (43%) said they struggled to find senior decision makers who understood the benefits of digital technology.

Music had the most casualties in terms of the proportion (37.2%) of related start-ups that burned out, crashed and closed during the period surveyed. But acquiring licensing rights to music is a brutally complex business that most fledgling tech companies are rarely prepared for.
