Vente-privee.com Beats Gilt Groupe for #1 Private Sale Company
Sector: Private Sales  (25 companies ranked)
Released: April 18, 2011
*
*
The close-out sale has been around forever. These smart online retailers figured out, however, that putting the closeout sale behind a velvet rope and adding a time limit would add kerosene to the fire. In just a few years, three private companies have already sold for $100M+ and two have more than $500M in revenue. We crown General Atlantic the king of private sale investing with 2 huge investment wins: Gilt Groupe and Privalia. We crown Lot18 as the most exciting new private sale start-up on the scene.
Highlights
  • Vente Privee beats out Gilt Groupe for #1 private sale company.
  • General Atlantic crowned the best private sale investor.
  • We love newcomer Lot18. In just over a year, they already have 1.3M uniques. Our coolest start-up pick for private sales.

Rank Company Momentum Index Our Take
1 99.0 Vente-privee.com has $1.5B in revenue and a CEO shouting that he will generate $15B in revenue. Stop shouting. We hear you. Go to the top of the Index.
2 97.8 Gilt Groupe took the private sale model from Ventee-privee.com and ran long and fast to a $1 Billion valuation.
3 93.9 With 3 million members and tripling in size in one year, we expect Ideeli to follow Rue La La into a liquidity event in 2011.
