Our convictions

  • TIME is a leading and high-growth sector, with numerous disruptions creating major opportunities. As examples :
    • The mobile apps disruption:  launched in 2008, mobile apps generated 3,5B$ revenues in 2009 and should reach 6,2B$ in 2010. Mobile apps are improving the daily life of people.
    • The e-Commerce disruption: European sales have reached 144B€ in 2009 (+20% to 172B€ in 2010).
    • The online advertising disruption: In 2009, online marketing has overtaken press (and radio or outdoors) and represents 16B$ in Western Europe. E-commerce is redefining the retail environnment of products and services.
    • The companies meeting an actual market need with a new and relevant offer and playing a positive and perennial role in the ecosystem have a superior potential of profitable and lasting growth. Performance-driven online marketing is the major revolution of the last thirty years. 
  • We are able to play our role of an active, proactive, responsive and committed investor because of our strong experience of manager, entrepreneur and consultant in the fileds we invest in.
  • The speed and extent of the sector’s disruption need a highly reactive and flexible follow-up of our investments. Time to Market is not driven by organizational or financial considerations but by strategic market considerations. We update our technology watch constantly and focus on a few fields with high potential (click here to share our focalization themes).
