A UNICORN WITH A BUDDING HORN


Market Domination At All Costs

Vranic and spsniper have got me thinking.
While I readily agree Snapchat is an ideal suitor for Peeks, the chances of it happening are not so certain.
Here's why: Facebook nor YouTube (Google) can afford to have Snapchat snag Peeks simply because Peeks monetization edge will give the winning suitor social commerce domination.
Think about it.
When critical mass intersects with monetization enablence in an online social setting, a a ton of money is going to be made.
This is an incontrovertible fact.
Facebook offered to buy Snapchat for $3 Billion USD despite the fact Snapchat had
zero revenues at the time.
Facebook was looking for a mobile land grab---garnering a larger mobile user market share.
Being King of the desktop is a proposition for diminishing returns in today's smart phone environment.
Today, it's all about mobile and mobile users.
Snapchat is the King of mobile and enjoys a high user engagement.
The heat of the online social space continues to manifest itself in escalating valuations..
Snapchat or Snap is being valued at $40 billion USD despite its ongoing struggle with monetization.
Twitter is valued at $12 Billion USD and shares the same struggle with the additive of slowing user growth.
Pinterest is valued at $11 billion USD and needs a monetization tweek.
YouTube as a standalone is estimated to be worth up to $90 billion USD.
Facebook in all its composite parts is valued at $305 BILLION USD.
Google is valued at $273 BILLION USD.
Wow.
Wow.
Peeks IS CURRENTLY VALUED AT $17 MILLION USD.
That's 17 million NOT BILLION.
For a certainty, Peeks will be targeted but as you can see, the playing field is not limited to a single suitor.
When the time comes, there will be a bidding war.
As shareholders of the public entity, there will be much excitement in the weeks and months ahead.
I fully expect a buyout.
It remains to be seen by whom and for how much.
While we wait, Itwaru continues to prove out his social commerce revenue thesis.
