With 200+ Buyers Signed Up, Acquisition Marketplace Exitround Announces First Exit (But Won't Say Who)

exitround

Exitround, the website launched earlier this year where startups can anonymously seek acquirers, is announcing that it has facilitated its very first acquisition.


Pretty exciting, right? But what’s the startup? Who did the acquiring? Well, co-founder and CEO Jacob Mullins isn’t saying. He claimed that he’d like to share details, but the acquiring company wants to keep the deal confidential. (And in this case, the acquirer isn’t just trying to keep Exitround’s involvement secret. Apparently the acquisition hasn’t been announced publicly at all.)


That’s a little disappointing but not too surprising — one of Exitround’s main selling points is confidentiality. Startups are matched with potential acquirers based on some of their basic characteristics, but they’re not actually identified or put in contact unless the team expresses interest in a specific company.


Still, if you believe Mullins (I do, but maybe that’s because we used to work together at VentureBeat), the news is a sign that there’s really something to the idea. It’s only one acquisition, but since it’s only been four months since the service was announced, and three months since it went live, he said “thrilled” that it has gotten this far this quickly. There are several other deals in progress, he added.


Another sign of interest: Mullins said there are now more than 200 potential buyers on the service, including 16 public companies and nine companies in the Fortune 500. Those buyers go beyond the big tech companies that you’d expect and include fast-growing startups and companies outside the tech industry entirely.


On the other side of the marketplace, namely startups seeking (or at least considering) an acquisition, Mullins said there’s been broader interest than he expected — it’s not just small teams that are looking to exit gracefully through an acqui-hire, but also larger startups with funding and real technology. The average startup on the site has a team of seven people, with five of them holding technical positions, and has raised $634,771, Exitround says.


When we last covered the company, Mullins told me he was treating Exitround as a side project from his job as a senior associate at Shasta Ventures. Since then, he’s left Shasta and is now working full-time on the service, and as has CTO and co-founder Greg Dean (formerly of Avira and SocialShield). He also said he’s working on raising an angel round of funding.


As companies have started using the site, Mullins realized how tough it can be to actually figure out which companies might be interested in buying which startups, he said. Over time, the goal is to build recommendation technology that can make those matches in “in a more highly software-based and scalable way.”


Another goal is to do more to guide startups about when they should be looking at an acquisition and how they should go about the process — for example, Mullins said he wants to produce more content around that topic. To that end, Exitround is also announcing an “industry council” with experts on the corporate development and acquisition process. Their job won’t be producing the content themselves or working directly with startups (though that may happen on a case-by-case basis), but rather to guide Exitround’s strategy. The council consists of:



  • Pat Matthews, Senior Vice President Corporate Development, Rackspace

  • Adeo Ressi, CEO & Founding Member, The Founder Institute

  • Ted Rheingold, Founder of Dogster/Catster; Entrepreneur

  • Mark Seneca, Partner, Orrick

  • MG Siegler, TechCrunch Columnist and Investor

  • Ryan Spoon, Senior Vice President Product Development, ESPN

  • David Tisch, Managing Partner, Box Group

Francia dice adiós a la ley Hadopi y al corte de la conexión a Internet por descargas no autorizadas

El home taping lleva años matando a la música. Pobre. El decreto número 0157 del 9 de julio de 2013 del Ministerio de Cultura francés pone fin a la aventura de la ley Hadopi , aquella que pretendía luchar contra las descargas no autorizadas en Internet llegando al extremo de cortar la conexión de los usuarios que no dejaran de descargar cosas tras recibir dos avisos previos, y que fue aprobada con no poca polémica.


Desde el 2 de octubre de 2010, cuando se enviaron los primeros avisos bajo los auspicios de esta ley, sólo hubo un caso en el que a un usuario se le llegara a cortar la conexión durante dos semanas, además de imponerle una multa de 600 euros.


Pero en realidad quien se había descargado música era su entonces esposa usando la conexión a Internet que estaba a nombre de él.


Esta decisión del gobierno de Hollande, que ya había prometido derogar esta parte de la ley, viene además avalada por el informe realizado por Pierre Lescure, ex-director de Canal Plus, que dice que después de los millones de avisos enviados el sistema no ha cumplido con sus cometidos.


También ha sido fundamental la opinión de Fleur Pellerin, la ministra Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas, Innovación y la Economía Digital, que opina que hoy en día no se puede cortar la conexión a Internet de nadie en un país en el que se pretenda estimular el crecimiento de la economía digital y de hecho lo ha comparado con cortarle el agua a esa persona.


En cualquier caso esto no quiere decir que uno pueda seguir descargándose cosas libremente en Francia, ya que aunque desaparezca Hadopi las descargas ilegales pueden seguir suponiendo una multa de 1.500 euros en el caso de los peores reincidentes.

YC-Backed Standard Treasury Aims To Make Software That Eats Commercial Banking

Screen Shot 2013-07-09 at 7.13.38 AM

Standard Treasury, a YC-backed company, is hoping to make it easier for businesses to deal with their banks through standard APIs that ease transfers and other transactions.


The company says that integrating banking services for small businesses and startups is overly complicated. They can end up sending large files over FTP with specs that take up hundreds of pages.


Co-founder Daniel Kimerling had this experience when he was building up his last company, Giftly, which let people send gifts on the web and mobile devices to each other without affecting the point-of-sale systems at local merchants. They had to build up their own infrastructure to interface with the banking system to manage peer-to-peer payments.


“The existing model for bank-enterprise relationships hasn’t changed since the 1970s,” Kimerling said. “Banking is really painful. We have customers that ask — why can’t banking be like Stripe or Braintree?”


One issue is that banks generally don’t create their own software; they buy it from other vendors like FIS Global, a $13 billion publicly-traded company that sells banking and payments technology.


“It turns out that every banker also hates their technology. They rarely homebrew their own technology. They usually white-label it from someone else,” Kimerling said.


So Standard Treasury is building middleware that allows a bank’s customers to programmatically interface with their bank. Their first product today is a RESTful API that processes electronic checks, book transfers, account opening and closing and foreign currency quoting and execution. They will also build webhooks for posting transactions.


While the company can’t say which banks it is partnering with, they are doing pilots with one of the country’s five largest banks and are working several other mid-size and regional ones to launch their own API platforms.


The two co-founders Kimerling and his co-founder Zac Townsend have known each other for more than a decade and this concept was pretty much their first idea when they applied to and got into YC. (They experimented with a few other ones, but kept returning to this one.)


Townsend also has some payments experience after working briefly at Stripe, one of the other up-and-coming YC companies to watch out for after hits like Airbnb and Dropbox. Townsend also worked on technology policy for Newark Mayor Cory Booker.


The pair spoke to hundreds of co-founders, CFOs, and VPs of Finance at different companies to figure out what they wanted from their banks. APIs for the most basic services like transfers are the beginning, but Kimerling and Townsend want to eventually build out a full stack of bank technology, including “core” banking and systems that can report back who has how much in their accounts.

Bandzoogle Acquires “About.me For Bands,” Onesheet, To Become The Go-To Website Builder For Artists

Screen shot 2013-07-09 at 7.08.36 AM

Two years ago, ArtistData founder and serial entrepreneur Brenden Mulligan launched Onesheet to give bands and musicians an easy way to build a social presence on the Web. Akin to an “About.me for bands,” Onesheet allows musicians and artists to build a one-page, aggregated dossier from their existing social channels and third-party services, whether it be to link their music from SoundCloud, Bandcamp or iTunes or to post videos from YouTube and Vimeo.


Having attracted tens of thousands of bands and entertainers, Onesheet is today announcing that it has been acquired by Bandzoogle, a website creation platform for musicians. While the terms of the deal were not disclosed, Bandzoogle CEO David Dufresne tells us that Onesheet will remain an independent product and will be relaunched shortly, as part of the company’s larger, platform-wide redesign, which he says has been “two years in the making.”


While Bandzoogle may not be a household name in the U.S., the Montreal-based company has managed to survive in a tough and volatile market by providing independent bands and musicians with affordable tools through which they can manage all of their online activity. Today, the company powers tens of thousands of musician websites, allowing them to sell directly to fans through its built-in store, promote their music with email blasts and social network integration and manage their interactions with fans.


Boiled down, Bandzoogle is a musician-centric, website building platform, which its CEO describes as a “WordPress, or more accurately a Wix or Squarespace made specifically for a band’s website.” To compete in what has become an increasingly active space, Dufresne says that the company has focused its attention on offering more targeted features, like music and merchandise sales tools and mailing list management.


While Bandzoogle competes in part with companies like Bandcamp, Fanbridge and MailChimp, the CEO says, its key differentiator is that it doesn’t take a cut from its users’ online sales. Instead, the company relies solely on revenue derived from the monthly or annual fees bands pay to use its advanced management tools.


The CEO says that the platform has been growing steadily and is now profitable, having passed 20,000 paid users last year. Unlike some others of this ilk, you won’t find any big stars on Bandzoogle, as the company has intentionally gone after the long tail, catering to small and mid-level indie artists and an array of DIY entertainers and bands, Dufresne says.


As of today, Bandzoogle doesn’t offer a free-mium product, only a free trial, the CEO tells us, so part of the motivation behind acquiring Onesheet was to be able to appeal to a new set of users by offering a free product with premium options and offer a more diversified pricing model. While Onesheet initially launched on a mission to be the “About.me for bands,” it later expanded its scope to include new verticals, hoping to cater to the entertainment industry as a whole.


With its acquisition of Onesheet, the CEO says that it now plans to do the same, moving into new verticals by opening up its platform to actors, comedians and models, for example, and it wants to leverage Onesheet’s user base to do that. Today, Bandzoogle has partnerships with ReverbNation and offers technical integrations with Topspin’s commerce features, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter, SoundCloud, Songkick, Bandsintown, Tumblr, Instagram and more, and distribution partnerships with an array of companies and associations, including Sonicbids and ASCAP — to name a few.


The Bandzoogle CEO tells us that the company has had a long relationship with (Onesheet founder) Mulligan, going back to his days at ArtistData, as Bandzoogle was one of the first to integrate. “So we’ve been watching Onesheet closely since it launched,” Dufresne says. “We knew eventually we were either going to compete, partner or acquire the company since the beginning, because it was the missing piece in our product offering.”


The Onesheet co-founders were about to relaunch the platform and return to their original “simple, official homepage” concept, when Bandzoogle made its first offer, he says. At the time, they were more or less re-pivoting to the “About.me for bands” idea, back from the “Linkedin for entertainers” concept they had gone with last year. As a result, Mulligan (and Dufresne) say that the timing was right.


“There aren’t a lot of companies in the artist services space that survive,” the Onesheet co-founder tells us. “Bandzoogle is unique in this way … We’ve actually talked for years about a bigger partnership, but we never managed to find the right arrangement. But now we have.”


Registration for Bandzoogle’s new site-plus-Onesheet is closed, but those interested can sign up to get on an early invite list, Dufresne says. The company is looking to migrate Onesheet’s current codebase to its new fresh back-end and tweak its UI before its full relaunch, which the CEO expects to have completed by late summer. In the meantime, current Onesheet users won’t be affected.

Fast Fashion Lingerie E-Tailer Adore Me Takes $8.5M In Series B Funding

adoreme_st.barts

Adore Me, a fast fashion lingerie and swimwear site, has closed its Series B venture capital round at $8.5 million. The investments from Upfront Ventures, Mousse Partners, and Redhills Ventures bring the company to $11.2 million in funding.


The New York-based company launched in 2012 as the intimates answer to fast fashion giants like Zara, H&M, and Forever21. Adore Me operates on a rapid manufacture-to-retail cycle in which the brand introduces a new 30-40 piece collection every month, at a price point of about $39.95 for a matching bra and knicker set.


Victoria’s Secret, by comparison, only produces two major collections a year. That’s the difference on which Adore Me hopes to get in on the everyday woman’s lingerie budget.


Fast fashion has worked exceedingly well in women’s clothing, but it’s a tough egg to crack in lingerie. A manufacturer might require a minimum order of 500 for a simple t-shirt. For bras, which comprise 35-40 individual components, cost drives the minimum run up to 5,000-10,000. Fast fashion relies on diversity, which is nearly impossible for a lingerie company to deliver unless they have an enormous inventory budget.


Founder and CEO Morgan Hermand-Waiche told TechCrunch that Adore Me has managed to balance its diversity and inventory by hiring designers that know bra manufacturing well. By building different shapes off the same prototype, they can increase the range of styles without significant production changes.


If Adore Me’s model turns out to be sustainable, it could mean big things for the lingerie industry. The site grew 40-50% month over month in 2012 and early 2013, a rep said, although she would not release exact sales numbers. We do know that the company passed its 100,000th shipment in less than one year. With this latest round of investments, Adore Me will be bulking up its team and inventory budget.


Although there are other lingerie start-ups out there like True&Co and Brayola, those sites aggregate bras from existing brands and focus on helping users find the right fit. As Hermand-Waiche pointed out, there’s not much keeping a user on True&Co once they know their size for a particular brand.

Soundwave, The Music Discovery App Backed By Mark Cuban, Is Placing A Big Bet On Big Data

mzl.bwvewptr.320x480-75

What happens when your app manages to attract The Woz as a fan, Mark Cuban as an investor, Stephen Fry to help launch, and you’re featured by Apple and Google in its respective app stores?


A shed load of downloads, that’s what.


In the case of Dublin-based Soundwave, the music discovery app that tracks the listening habits of you, your friends and other users you follow, we’re talking over 165,000 downloads in just shy of 2.5 weeks. However, perhaps the more interesting story is what the startup could to do with all of the listening data its amassing should that traction continue.


First, though, let’s delve into the stats some more. Along with number of downloads, the iOS and Android app, which is able to track what your listening to on your phone’s native music player as well as streaming services Spotify and Rdio, has tracked 3 million song plays. That figure gives us a good indication of actual usage and is one that Soundwave will be expecting to grow significantly if it’s app is to make it past the download and use once hurdle.


Meanwhile, those app downloads span 182 countries, with its biggest market so far being the U.S., followed by UK, Brazil, Ireland, Russia and Germany. Notably, both Apple and Google have featured the app — the iOS version 443 times across 17 App Store categories in 144 countries since launch — including Apple making Soundwave the much coveted ‘Editors Choice’. So it shouldn’t be surprising to see some decent traction.


“We were in our office reading through TechCrunch and were chatting about how nuts it was how the SV companies had such access to super angels.”


Traction, of course, is what Soundwave requires to create the listening data that is crucial to powering not only the consumer-facing app — to help you discover new music through the listening habits of your friends and influencers you follow — but also the startup’s broader ambitions to mine that data and possibly sell it back to the music industry.


The startup initially set out to create a frictionless way of capturing what music a user is listening to without forcing them to abandon their phone’s native music player or the streaming services they already use. To that end, Soundwave CEO and co-founder Brendan O’Driscoll tells me that the startup decided early on not to build a player of its own, instead figuring out a way to ‘listen’ to other music apps on iOS and Android, and that iOS in particular required a clever workaround to enable that to happen, not least for Apple’s built-in iTunes app. What that workaround is, however, O’Driscoll isn’t saying, except that it’s one of the things that sets it apart from competing music tracking apps and something that helped it catch Apple’s attention.


By consolidating the fragmented listening that takes place across all of the various music apps and services that a user makes use of on a mobile phone (though arguably it needs a desktop app too), not only is Soundwave able to return better music recommendations, but it also makes its data potentially very valuable. Yes, I’m talking about another Big Data play.


As O’Driscoll explains: “The value and size of our data has really excited the music industry. Our ability to create a ‘Bloomberg Terminal or Google Analytics for music’ has massive potential.” What he’s referring to here is that instead of creating charts based on what music has been bought (physical purchases or downloads) or what music has been streamed, Soundwave could accurately reflect what music has actually been listened to. Arguably, that’s a much better data point since charts based purely on a spike in purchases are and have always been open to manipulation, especially as volume of purchases overall has fallen.


Perhaps related to this potential, Soundwave has added some music industry experience to its list of backers. As part of an interim round that tops up the $1 million already raised last October from ACT Venture Capital, Enterprise Ireland, Mark Cuban, and Matthew le Merle, the startup has added a further $500,000 from various investors including Trevor Bowen, one of the people behind U2′s management company Principle Management.


Beyond its Big Data play, Soundwave also plans to offer an external API. “We feel that this model is particularly exciting as we have seen everyone from labels, radio stations, bands and other social consumer apps knocking on our door since launch,” says O’Driscoll, noting that an API could provide another revenue stream for the company. For example, a radio station’s app could integrate with Soundwave’s API to show what music its DJs are listening to and to display realtime charts based on what listeners are listening to. “Soundwave in turn would be increasing its reach and would be further enhancing its B2B play,” he says.


Finally, a somewhat untold story — until now — is how the heck the company successfully pitched Dallas Mavericks’ owner and serial investor Mark Cuban from its tiny offices situated above a laundrette in Dublin.


In O’Driscoll’s own words: “We were in our office reading through TechCrunch and were chatting about how nuts it was how the SV companies had such access to super angels. As we were saying it, I saw on TechCrunch that Mark had invested in Apptopia, and thought why not, I’ll google ‘mark cuban email address’ and see what happens. An address popped up instantly and I fired a quick 3 sentence email across. 5 minutes later, I had a reply sitting in my inbox. ‘Send more info’. I did and that was that! We closed off an investment from Mark while sitting at our desks in Dublin, and Mark has been a really active investor since.”


See, that’s what can happen when you read too much TechCrunch.
