    SparkLabs Global Ventures’ Technology and Internet Market Bi-Monthly Review September 22, 2014 Weekly Highlights Global Trends • The travel industry is booming on smartphones as mobile bookings hit 40 percent Americans are rapidly moving away from desktops and getting comfortable booking all of their travel reservations on tablets and smartphones. In other words, people are making their travel plans on mobile devices, not desktops and laptops. For the first six months of 2014, over 40 percent of Americans booked travel reservations — flights, hotels, cruises, for example — on mobile devices, up more than 20 percent for the same period last year, according to Criteo’s new Travel Flash Report. Criteo is Paris-based with offices in New York and the Bay Area. Criteo, a virtual brand retargeter that helps clients retain customers in marketing campaigns, also queried over 1,000 of their clients, many of whom reside in the online travel ecosystem, for example, like Expedia and Hotels.com. Other findings indicate that mobile devices now account for 21 percent of hotel bookings. Peer-to-peer apartment rentals booked through mobile is now 34 percent globally, not just in the States. Mobile penetration trends in Asia, Latin America, and Europe, mirror, more or less, the mobile numbers in the States. Indeed, Asia has seen a 20 percent growth on those booking through mobile devices. But in Germany, the biggest economy in all of Europe, online booking with a mobile device stood at a paltry 10 percent. • How Apple Pay is set to change commerce Recently, Apple announced two new iPhones that included Near Field Communication (NFC) for wireless payments for the first time.

Startup firms have now access to several sources of long- term financing such as subsidized and participative loans granted by public-sector institu- tions (e.g., CDTI, ENISA and other similar institutions), domestic and international ventu- re capital firms (VCFs), and organized Business Angels, accelerators, incubators and simi- lar entities. International funds continued to show a noticeable interest in investing in our country. If in 2013 17 funds (an historical maximum) invested in Spain for the first time, last year there were 14. These are amazing figures when we bear in mind that in the years prior to this the average was around 5.

LIFE.SREDA TEAM (AKA THE GOOD GUYS) LIST OF RECOMMENDED FINTECH AND FINTECH-RELATED READING FINTECHRANKING.COM | LIFESREDA.COM WEEKLY ONLINE MEDIA DIGEST Previous digests #6 20.04.2015 — 26.04.2015 ONLINE AND MOBILE FINANCIAL SERVICES — One more fintech-unicorn! IN LESS THAN two years, Oscar Health, a New York City- based health insurance company, has already amassed 40,000 members, with its member-friendly plans and tech-driven approach. Now, the startup has landed another $145 million round of funding at a $1.5 billion valuation, which will help bring Oscar insurance to other cities across the country by the end of the year. While $1 billion-plus valuations are commonplace in the tech world these days, Oscar is one of a handful of startups that seems to have truly earned it. Oscar, which launched back in 2013, took on one of the country’s most entrenched and hairy markets—health insurance—and infused it with technology and user-friendly design. Now it’s generating around $200 million a year in revenue. http://fintechranking.com/2015/04/20/this-1-5b-startup-is-making-health-insurance-suck-less/ WEEK OF THE FINTECH-UNICORNS! 3 MORE! Across the total fintech sector, 18 companies raised $1.03 billion this week. And three new unicorns were officially unveiled: Lufax, Funding Circle, and Oscar, a U.S. health insurance startup. The alternative lending sector, especially in China, is soaking up funds at an unprecedented pace.
