Back Market raises $48m to fix your phone -- and the broken electronics repair industry
</strong>
</h2>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Back Market, a Paris-based marketplace for refurbishing consumer electronics, raised
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
$48m
</a>
in VC money to capitalize on cracks in the repair industry.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
The company started out answering the calls of fed-up customers who wanted more options to repair expensive devices -- and found a huge, untapped market in the process.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
Planned obsolescence may become obsolete
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Historically, tech devices were discarded instead of repaired -- sometimes because rapid-fire improvements made old devices unusable, but usually because hardware companies made products obsolete to sell new models.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
*Stares mournfully at perfectly functional, now unusable corded headphones*
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
But recently,
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
lawsuits
</a>
in several countries -- particularly in France -- and “right to repair”
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
legislation
</a>
in 17 US states have started to crack down on companies (especially Apple) that make it nearly impossible for consumers to repair their devices.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
Fix an iPhone, fix an industry
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
With refurbished phones now available, consumers are opting for used phones over new ones that cost as much as cars (*cough* iPhone X) -- last year, 1 in 10 iPhones
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
purchased
</a>
in the US was refurbished.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
But, Back Market wants to push this trend even further -- by matching device owners with repair services to repair their
<em>
current
</em>
phones.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
So far, it’s been successful. Back Market just debuted in its 6th country (the United States), and the 3.5-year-old company already made a profit and more than
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
$100m
</a>
in revenue last year.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
Now, the phone-fixing race is on
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
With its newfound cash, Back Market hopes to expand its lead on competitors like
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
iCracked
</a>
,
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
iFixit
</a>
,
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
Save
</a>
,
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
Repair Cafe
</a>
.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
But Back Market has a triple-threat advantage -- Partnerships with
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
270
</a>
non-proprietary repair factories, an HQ in right-to-repair-righteous France, and a hot $48m in funding -- that positions it to out-fix the competition in the near future.

PayPal’s Dutch rival’s stock doubled post-IPO, and people are calling it a ‘mania’
</strong>
</h2>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Dutch fintech firm Adyen surged nearly
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
100%
</a>
in their first day trading as a public company, going from $8.3B to 17B overnight and making their IPO one of Europe’s biggest ever in the tech sector.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
<em>
Talk about getting underpriced.
</em>
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Or did they? The 12-year-old company has been profitable for some time, with revenue over $1.18B last year -- and their debut at $283 per share (that since doubled) was nothing to shake a stick at.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Still, this jaw-dropping valuation spike caught everyone by surprise, and has many seeing flashes of a certain pre-millennium-explosion...
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
*Cough* The dotcom bubble *cough*
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
It’s what we in the biz call an “overreaction” or, as
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
<em>
Bloomberg
</em>
</a>
puts it, just plain “unhealthy.”
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
These days, stable, profitable companies seem rarer than unicorns (the actual mythical horse kind), and when they do come around, investors lose their cool like a pre-teen at a boy-girl party.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
After all, Adyen processed $127B in payments last year and works with companies like Netflix, Facebook, and Spotify (that’s 50% of FANG, people!).
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
Time will tell if something gold can stay…

</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
But experts are skeptical.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
The word “bubble” isn’t one to be thrown around willy-nilly, but, compared to the typical
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
10-15%
</a>
spike of a successful IPO, Adyen’s bonkers valuation seems less than sustainable.

Tesla cancels solar partnership with Home Depot and lays off 9% of employees in ‘reorg’
</strong>
</h2>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Back in February, we wrote about Tesla’s new
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
partnership
</a>
with Home Depot to sell “budget-friendly” solar products.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
But yesterday, in a company wide email, Elon Musk shared some dim news: Just 4 months after the announcement, the company is
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
pulling the plug
</a>
on the partnership to reportedly “focus [their] efforts on selling solar power in Tesla stores and online.”
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
But wait, there’s more...
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Arguably the biggest bombshell was the “reorganization,” including cutting 9% of employees (
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
3.5k
</a>
people) as the company pinches pennies, while boosting Model 3 output.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
In the memo, Musk said the job cuts are mostly directed at salaried staff and won’t affect production workers assembling the company’s vehicles.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
The chase for 5k
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Musk is in focus-mode trying to hit Tesla’s production goal of 5k Model 3 sedans a week by the end of June (
<em>
and help raise his performance-contingent salary from $0 to, well, a
</em>
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">

</em>
</a>
).
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
According to
<em>
The Wall Street Journal,
</em>
Tesla investors were on board, sending the company’s shares up more than 3% -- a stock that has fallen nearly 9% over the past 12 months amid their production struggles.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
As for the Depot deal, a spokesperson said the company plans to continue to offer Tesla’s products in its stores through the end of 2018.

As big tech regroups, Twitter hopes to use modest gains to catch up
</strong>
</h2>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Twitter has long struggled to avoid being the butt of every joke in tech. With stock at a 3-year
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
high
</a>
, it’s finally getting somewhere.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
The 12-year-old company posted its
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
first
</a>
profitable quarter just months ago -- and while the company is using this rare victory to fight for a seat at the table with tech’s biggest and baddest, it faces an uphill battle.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
A slow, anticlimactic road to ‘success’
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
While Twitter
<em>
is
</em>
profitable and increased 155% in stock value in the last year, user growth has barely ticked upward at a
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
3%
</a>
increase.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
So Twitter’s stock increase has less to do with the company’s growth, and more to do with
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
cost-cutting
</a>
and the relative struggles of its rivals.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
But that doesn’t mean Twitter isn’t going to make the best of it...

<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">

‘Quick! Tweet at ’em while they’re down’
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
With Facebook and Google struggle to regain user trust by
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
overhauling
</a>
their news platforms, Twitter is rolling out news
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
improvements
</a>
to win some market share.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
For a company that has been pegged in the past solely as an acquisition target, this new stability is a welcome win, but they’re still a chihuahua merely yapping at the big dogs.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Twitter’s recent gains put the company’s market cap at a swollen $32.5B -- while “struggling” Facebook sits at about
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
$559B
</a>

<strong>
The World Cup is different this time
</strong>
</h2>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Why?
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Because
<em>
this time
</em>
, you’re not going to wake up at 5am to reserve a table at a sports bar while a sweaty guy spills beer on you.
<em>
This time
</em>
, you don’t need to take bathroom breaks in shifts to protect your coveted, perfect-TV-angle table.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
No, this year, you’re taking charge of your World Cup experience, because, c’mon, it’s only comes once every
<em>
4 years
</em>
.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">

ViewSonic’s new
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
4K UHD projector
</a>
lets you project the game as big as you want it (we’re talking up to 25
<em>
feet
</em>
, not inches, people), anywhere you want, in
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
Ultra HD
</a>
.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Stand
<em>
where
</em>
and
<em>
when
</em>
you want to. Go to the bathroom -- ok maybe not where, but --
<em>
when
</em>
you want to
<em>
.
</em>
And don’t spend $100’s on drinks -- make your friends bring the beer (hey, you brought the projector).
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
The only sweat you’ll see are the beads gleaming on Ronaldo’s brow, in
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">

Yes, this World Cup is going to be different. This, and every one after it, thanks to your new favorite alphanumeric string: The
