  • Ebay's 2018 Annual Report
    To our stockholders, As the Board Chairman, I continue to be proud of the meaningful impact eBay makes around the globe. With every buyer we delight and every seller we empower, we manifest our belief that technology and commerce can be forces for good. As I reflect on 2018, I see an eBay that is evolving to strengthen its business for the next 25 years. In 2018, we grew our active buyer base to 179 million, drove $95 billion in Global Merchandise Volume (GMV) and delivered record earnings. As evidence of our leaders’ continued confidence in eBay’s future, we returned $4.5 billion of capital to shareholders through the repurchase of common stock. I’m deeply proud of the decisions our Board and leadership team made in response to the challenges of positioning an established yet dynamic and innovative technology business to thrive over the long term. We made investments that set up the company for future success, focusing people and resources on our priority initiatives: buyer growth, conversion, payments and advertising. And we adjusted revenue and GMV expectations accordingly. As we shape eBay, I feel fortunate to work with such a stellar and diverse cross-section of leaders. On behalf of the entire Board, thank you for your ongoing support of eBay and our mission. With your help, we’ll continue to galvanize inspiration and economic opportunity around the world. Thomas Tierney Chairman of the Board To Our Stockholders, The past year has brought remarkable challenges and opportunities for both the technology industry and for eBay. It was a year of reckoning for many consumer tech companies, with a breakout of societal issues around privacy, trust, trade and immigration.

  • Part One Introduction from the Startup Genome
    Part One Introduction from the Startup Genome While nearly all high growth technology startups have historically emerged from no more than 3-4 startup ecosystems, namely Silicon Valley and Boston, this trend appears to have reached its end. Simultaneous with a global explosion of entrepreneurship has been an explosion in the rise of new startup ecosystems around the world, and a new found maturity in others. As high growth technology startups look to be the primary growth engine of the new information economy, the recent development of startup ecosystems flowering all over the world has big consequences for the future of the global economy. With that in mind, Startup Genome and Telefonica Digital teamed up to take a global look at the state of startups to understand where, outside of the proven testing ground of Silicon Valley, does entrepreneurship take hold? There are several factors that helped inspire this report, all with the goal of helping entrepreneurs, investors, and policy makers understand where they sit in the global startup ecosystem, how they can improve their odds of success, and where investors might start exploring for new opportunities. Obviously there are significant implications from this research, which will be unveiled in entirety in Q4 2012. In the meantime, this highly localized look at global entrepreneurship can be represented at a glance in the Global Startup Ecosystem Index, below. Summary Overall, the Startup Ecosystem Index paints a glowingly positive picture of the state of entrepreneurship around the world. While Silicon Valley is far and away the strongest ecosystem, just 5 or 10 years ago most of the other ecosystems on this list either barely existed or didn’t exist at all.
