Dealroom - Marketplaces Report, 2022 Review

The Dealroom - Marketplaces Report, published in February 2022 in partnership with Adevinta Ventures, provides an overview of the performance of online marketplaces in 2022. The report focuses on value creation, venture capital investment, and the winners and losers of sub-industry trends in the tech ecosystem. The report only includes companies founded since 1990 and categorizes them as startups, scaleups, grownups, and tech companies. The report focuses on venture capital investment, excluding debt or non-equity funding, grants, and ICOs, and treating buyouts, M&A, secondary rounds, and IPOs as exits. The investment rounds are sourced from public disclosures including press releases, news, and verified user-submitted information. The combined valuation of the tech ecosystem is based on their market cap or latest transaction value, which is either announced or estimated by Dealroom based on benchmarks.
