Digital Marketplaces and eCommerce

We work with companies that are using technology combined with a scalable business model, to significantly influence an existing market.

We believe that Digital Marketplaces and eCommerce businesses are attractive to investors due to the speed and scale to which they can grow by offering a clear customer proposition, with transparent pricing and ease of delivery. They are more capital efficient than traditional companies and can quickly command a dominant market position that is difficult to usurp.

 

Digital Marketplaces and eCommerce propositions have been a high priority for any tech savvy investor over the past decade – with those who have invested benefiting from the positive market forces that have surrounded the shifts in behaviour of the buyers and sellers of products and services.


Whether operating in a large established market or a niche it has been repeatedly seen that one company can dominate the landscape in a very short period of time. Due to the virtuous circle that is created between the buyers and sellers these companies with ever increasing brand presence can be difficult to dislodge.

Chrystal Capital works best with companies that are:

 

  • Based in Western Europe / North America
  • Disrupting large existing market places
  • Leveraging technology
  • Proven and have scale
  • Looking for Series B financing onwards
  • Typically requiring £10m +
