 HOW VALUABLE ARE UNIQUE VISITORS?

 Twitter is rumoured to be raising a new $50 million round of funding at a $1 billion valuation. The company most
 recently raised $35 million at a rumoured $250 million valuation in February. W hile the increase in value seems
 extraordinary, when looking at the valuation per unique visitor (UV), the increase is less impressive – from $29 to $42
 (+47%). Note that we would of course prefer comparing valuation based on financial metrics such as cash flow or
 even revenue. However, Twitter has not yet started generating any revenue.

 Advertising remains the most active sector: Advertising-related companies continue to see the most activity by number
 of transactions (10), followed by Social Networks (9), and Gaming (8) (Figure 4). The $2.0 billion acquisition of Skype
 skews the dollars transacted to the SMS/Voice segment, while the $170 million acquisition of Mint brings the Vertical
 Communities segment to the second highest total.

Twitter is rumoured to be raising a new $50 million round of funding at a $1 billion valuation. The company most recently raised $35 million at a rumoured $250 million valuation in February. W hile the increase in value seems extraordinary, when looking at the valuation per unique visitor (UV), the increase is less impressive – from $29 to $42 (+47%). Note that we would of course prefer comparing valuation based on financial metrics such as cash flow or even revenue. However, Twitter has not yet started generating any revenue.

Another 4 financings were announced this week, bringing the month-to-date total to 13 transactions averaging $5.7 million each (compared with 9 trades averaging $4.7 million last week). The largest transaction stands at $20 million for Ensequence (provider of software and services to manage interactive television content). Deal flow in prior months was as follows: August, $208.5 million, averaging $7.7 million over 27 deals; July, $191.4 million, averaging $5.5 million over 35 deals; and June, $204.7 million, averaging $4.9 million over 42 deals. Broad-based price improvement: Twenty-nine of the companies in our universe had positive stock price performances over the past week (for stocks with prices greater than $1) while twelve companies showed negative one-week returns. Volatile price swings continue for DigitalTown (OTCBB:DGTW ), rising 76% this week following a 14% decline the previous week. Frogster International (XTRA:FRG) experienced the largest decline at -8.8%.
