I frequently hear clients speak of the disruption taking place in their industries and the need for transformation as they define their path to achieve long-term success in rapidly evolving markets.

  • Spark Capital Technology Newsletter
    INVESTMENT BANKING NEWSLETTER TECHNOLOGY APRIL 2018 FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK Dear Reader, Welcome to the eleventh edition of the monthly Technology Newsletter from Spark Capital. With this newsletter, we have tried to give you a flavour of various updates across the Software, Tech Services, Internet, and FinTech sectors. India’s consumer internet industry is undergoing tremendous innovations. Increasing internet penetration and digitization are changing the paradigm of consumer internet. Saavn’s sale to JioMusic could be a key step in the evolution of consumer internet industry in India. The deal proves that distribution, reach and large user bases aren’t the significant competitive moats (as they once were). JioMusic has levelled the playing field to such an extent that a new entrant has commanded twice the value of Saavn. The mobile user base is 15x larger than the PC world, hence the older competitive moats don’t work, the disruption cycles are so fast, that the competition in the consumer internet has never been fiercer. We are starting to see in some established categories with large numbers of entrants and few barriers to entry, where only price is the differentiator, that commodification is inexorable. If you are competing on price, at some point you will bottom out where you can no longer undercut. At that point, the business will begin to compete on service rather than customer acquisition, technology, category creation etc. Horizontal e-commerce has seen two clear leaders emerge which are Flipkart and Amazon respectively. We expect further consolidation among vertical players in grocery, food delivery, furniture.

Virtually all subsectors of the SCA Business Services Index outperformed the broader market as a result of consensus predictions of enhanced economic growth in the U.S. during 2015. In particular, the SCA Marketing Services sector (+29.6%), the SCA IT Consulting sector (+16.9%), and the SCA Professional Staffing sector (+11.6%) recorded significant growth. While the stock market was thriving, M&A activity slowed in the Business Services sector during Q4 2014 posting the fewest closed transactions of any quarter this year. However, the beginning of 2015 has already seen a number of high profile Business Services transactions announced, and we expect M&A activity in the sector to continue to accelerate throughout the year among both strategic and financial acquirers. Notable merger and acquisition transactions during the quarter include: AMN Healthcare Services Inc.
