E-DEALS: ARE INTERNET DEALS DIFFERENT?
| America Online-MoviePhone, NBC-iVillage, Rare Medium-Big Hand, Razorfish-Plastic. All are e-deals. All are different deal structures from traditional deals. But how are they different? And how is the deal structure affected by the lofty market value of Internet companies? The scarcity of their tangible assets? The universal need for customer "stickiness"? Do the lofty valuations shut out established companies from major positions in Internet companies? What are the assumptions used to value Internet companies with little tangible assets or profits? "Dot com" companies appear ready, willing and able to acquire companies for "stickiness" value even though revenues are minimal. How widespread is this? What prices are Internet service companies willing to pay for companies with minimal revenues but top talent? What happens to e-deals when Wall Street tires of concept plays and demands earnings from Internet companies? Come hear the experts clarify the internecine world of e-deals. |
