Abstract

Successful venture capital assessment needs accurate and efficient analysis models. This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis on Skydio to evaluate the investment value of this enterprise in order to invest in venture capital. We first survey the company’s overall situation, including the enterprise property, history, and investment status. Secondly, based on PEST analysis that consists of an enterprises’ political environment, economic environment, social environment, and technological environment, we analyze the main external environment factors and the company’s opportunities and risks. Then, the POCD framework is applied to analyze Skydio’s operating environment and investment evaluation through the perspective of People, Opportunity, and Context. Finally, through all the analysis, Skydio is undoubtedly the leader of unicorn enterprises and has great investment value. We are optimistic about Skydio and believe the company is worth investing in. This paper provides a better forecasting method to apply PEST analysis and POCD framework to analyzing start-up companies for venture capital.
