Lansare: Cine cauta, Gaseste.ro
joi, octombrie 22nd, 2015Momentan siteul, in curand aplicatiile iOS si Android:
Gaseste.ro este o platfoma dedicata micilor intreprinzatori si clientilor lor. Aceasta a aparut in mod natural, la cererea pietei, tinand cont de faptul ca nevoia de servicii prompte, realizate de catre firme flexibile si persoane care se misca repede si bine este in crestere. Companiile mari urmeaza proceduri ce implica mai multe departamente si o durata mai lunga de timp, astfel ca serviciile acestora sunt uneori ineficiente. De asemenea, exista situatii in care corporatiile nici nu ofera anumite servicii de care fiecare persoana are nevoie la un moment dat.
Gaseste.ro strange laolalta prestatori de servicii utile si se adreseaza mai ales persoanelor ocupate, care au nevoie de eficienta maxima atunci cand au de rezolvat o problema punctuala legata de casa, familie sau firma. Platforma propune serviciile animatorilor de care ai nevoie pentru zilele de nastere ale copiilor si stie sa te ajute cu un mester priceput la toate, care face mici reparatii prin casa. Tot aici ii vei gasi pe fotograful care iti transforma petrecerea de schimbare a prefixului in amintiri savuroase si pe doamna care are grija ca totul sa fie curat si aerist cand ajungi acasa. Gaseste.ro gazduieste aceste servicii si oricine e interesat are acces la ele rapid si in siguranta.
Toti furnizorii inscrisi pe Gaseste.ro sunt verificati in prealabil, astfel ca platforma propune persoane si companii de incredere. Ele sunt atent selectionate de catre echipa Gaseste.ro in functie de competentele profesionale si seriozitatea in efectuarea lucrarilor. Platforma este astfel un intermediar gratuit pentru cererea de servicii specializate si persoanele serioase care le pot oferi.

marți, septembrie 29th, 20151. Medium.com, platforma lansata de Ev Williams (ex Twitter, ex Blogger) acum 3 ani, a fost evaluata la 400 milioane dolari de o investitie a celor de la Andreessen Horowitz. Link.

To break into the top 10 brands would imply a production volume of at least 2.5 million units (about the same as Daimler ships today.) At 2.65 million and a price of $55k/vehicle Apple’s revenues from cars would total about $145 billion. This is roughly the sales value of the iPhone business today. Not bad. Maybe that would satisfy a financial analyst.
Google vs Facebook + Apple
miercuri, septembrie 23rd, 2015If you see how stock analysts value Google and Apple stocks, around 90% of the value of Apple ($650bn) is due to iOS while around 8% of the value of Google ($450bn) is due to Android. And this is the case even though outside the US Android has 82% market share. But while Android has 81% smartphone market share Apple with less than 14% has over 80% of the global smartphone market profits. This happens because if you are a $650bn company focused on one product you are likely to beat a $450bn multiproduct company.
And then there is the other vulnerability of Google which is ads. Search related ads are around 80% of the value of Google. Ads are to Google what iOS is to Apple. But in ads Google is under attack from another company: Facebook. Facebook is a $260bn ads only company that does not allow Google to crawl it. For Google everything that goes on at Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp is a black hole. But Facebook has found another way to make ads work that is not search based but instead it is contextual to whatever you are doing on Facebook. And these ads are extremely well targeted. Facebook allows advertisers to use key demographics such as geography, gender, age, income, occupation, something that Google cannot do. Moreover Facebook is way ahead of Google in mobile advertising and the fight against ad blockers.

marți, septembrie 8th, 2015Potrivit unui document CIT Restructuring, care a analizat cifre corespunz?toare anului 2013, dintr-un num?r total de 720.000 de companii înscrise la Registrul Comer?ului, doar 1% puteau fi considerate firme cu structur? financiar? s?n?toas?. A?adar, numai 7.212 de agen?i economici aveau un raport adecvat între active ?i sursele de finan?are (nu erau supraexpu?i), ?i, în acela?i timp, î?i demonstrau capacitatea de a genera profit, putând fi considera?i motorul economiei.
Ei realizau o treime din totalul cifrei de afaceri, 84% din profit ?i angajau un sfert din lucr?torii economiei române?ti.
Ar fi interesant de vazut impartirea pe judete a celor 7212 companii. De aici.
