Sectorial Newsletter on European e-commerce

Date: September, 1st, 2010

Clipperton Finance, a leading European corporate finance boutique serving the technology and media industries, has released a Newsletter concentrating on European e-commerce. Clipperton Finance has provided transaction services to European Technology and Media companies since its inception in 2003.

Following the short-term fall-out of the financial crisis in mid-2008, we have observed a significant increase in investment activity in the European e-commerce space which shows no sign of abating. Investors are attracted to a segment with favorable macro-drivers, capital efficiency through early revenue generation and a thorough understanding of key performance metrics.

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the trends that make this market so attractive, to understand the challenges for European e-commerce companies, and to explore some future developments.
