Snapchat天價估值背后有何玄機

Dan Primack 2013年06月27日

Dan Primack專注于報道交易和交易撮合者,從美國金融業(yè)到風險投資業(yè)均有涉及。此前,Dan是湯森路透(Thomson Reuters)的自由編輯,推出了peHUB.com和peHUB Wire郵件服務。作為一名新聞工作者,Dan還曾在美國馬薩諸塞州羅克斯伯里經營一份社區(qū)報紙。目前他居住在波士頓附近。
圖片網站Snapchat上的圖片發(fā)布10秒鐘后就會自行銷毀,頗有點“閱后即焚”的味道。目前,用戶每天在它上面發(fā)布的圖片超過2億張,用戶群也在迅速壯大。然而,它并沒有清晰的商業(yè)模式。不過,最近一輪融資中,風險資本家對Snapchat的估價超過8億美元。原因何在?

????牽頭進行本輪融資的Institutional Venture Partners公司丹尼斯?菲爾普斯應該知道上述問題的答案。不幸的是,他不接受關于此交易的采訪。但他寫了一篇名為《IVP投資Snapchat的十大理由》的博客文章。這篇文章使我產生了兩個想法:

????1、要么菲爾普斯是位蹩腳的風險資本家,根本不懂行;

????2、要么菲爾普斯其實心里跟明鏡似地,只是故意兜圈子,不想讓博文讀者弄明白。

????我猜后一種更可信。

????說真的,菲爾普斯給出的好幾條原因可謂寬泛至極,可以適用于幾十家乃至數(shù)百家新創(chuàng)企業(yè)。比如說移動至上?專注于圖像而非文字?創(chuàng)始人是“數(shù)碼原生代”?公司總部設在南加州?

????另外,菲爾普斯給出的有些原因根本不是好的投資理由,比如說追隨聰明的首輪投資者【基準資本(Benchmark)和光速創(chuàng)投(Lightspeed)】,還有“因為他們讓我們投”。

????所以,我不禁懷疑Snapchat其實有一個宏偉的計劃,只不過這家公司及其投資者目前都不愿透露。就連就此發(fā)布一條10秒鐘就自行銷毀的“快照”消息也不行。(財富中文網)

????One person who should know the answer is Dennis Phelps of Institutional Venture Partners, which led the new financing round. Unfortunately, he isn't doing interviews on the deal. Instead, he wrote a blog post titled Ten Reasons Why IVP Invested in Snapchat. It left me with two thoughts:

????1.?Either Phelps is a lousy venture capitalist who doesn't know what he's doing, or

????2.?He knows exactly what he's doing, and has expertly talked around telling readers of the blog post.

????My guess is the latter.

????Seriously, many of the reasons Phelps gives are generic enough that they could apply to dozens of startups, if not to hundreds. Mobile-first? Focused on imagery rather than text? The founders are digital natives? The company is based in Southern California?

????And some of them just aren't good reasons to invest. Namely the ones about following smart Series A investors (Benchmark and Lightspeed) and the one about "because they let us."

????So that's why I come back to the idea that Snapchat has a grand plan that neither it, nor its investors, are willing to divulge. Yet. Not even in a 10-second message that self-destructs.
