“GEO-LOCATIO N-BASED” BECOMING A BIG MONEY PHRASE


GO W AL L A VAL U AT I ON P U SH E S “ UN IQ U E VI SI T O R ” BO UN D AR Y
Two transactions this week highlight varying perspectives on user-driven W eb 2.0 valuations – the Series B financing
of geo-location-based, gaming-oriented social network Gowalla; and the acquisition of Friendster, the third largest
social network by number of users, by Malaysian payments company, MOL Global. Some of the highlights include:

Gow alla sets a new high: Gowalla raised $8.5 million in a Series B financing this past week. W ith just 50,000 users
on the location-based social network (driven by the company’s Facebook game application, PackRat, launched in
2008), the most recent raise valued the company at $28.4 million, implying a per unique visitor value of $568 – well
above the previous high we recorded in May 2008 for Plaxo at $200/user.

Geo-location services are hot: Gowalla’s $568 UV valuation, we believe, is largely based on the company’s
positioning in the very popular geo-location application sector. Some of the other metrics we have collected in the
space include Foursquare valued in September at $40/user and Poynt (by Multiplied Media, a publicly traded
company) currently valued at $16/user. Our expectation is that UV valuations in this space will increase as more
companies execute funding raises.

There is a big difference between first and third place: Friendster’s user base (estimated at 50-150 million users,
depending on the source) ranks it third among social networking sites – Facebook leads the way with 300+ million
users. However, boasting millions of users does not guarantee a windfall valuation – as Friendster’s $0.67/user to
$2.00/user (depending on which total user number is used) valuation illustrates. W e postulate that building a critical
mass number of users only helps valuation if your application is a leader in its category and therefore represents the
de facto “go to” option for users – as is the case with Facebook, which was last valued at $32/user.
