Capital

You need to be in the Valley to build a big consumer company

China has already created a company of scale (Sorry America…)

less than one-tenth Alibaba’s 2012 sales

…India has 4+ consumer unicorns

revenue !
• 1.6m customers served • 27m monthly visits • Millions of Euro per month in
revenue

B2C Ecommerce Sales Share Worldwide, by Region, 2011-2016 - % of total
• 2013: Sales is expected to grow 18.3% to $1.298 trillion with Asia-Pacific surpassing North America to become the world's #1 market for B2C ecommerce sales.
• Despite strong growth, North America’s share of global sales will drop from 33.5% in 2012 to 31.5% in 2013 as Asia-Pacific surges ahead.
• Asia-Pacific in 2013 will see sales increase by more than 30% to over $433 billion — or more than one-third of all global B2C ecommerce sales.
• Three Asia-Pacific markets — China, India and Indonesia — will see faster B2C ecommerce sales growth than all other markets worldwide in 2013.
