The graph is misleading. South Africa Naspers owns Allegro (1st Poland). Secondly, Allegro, which is polish Ebay, has almost whole market share in Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus etc. and possibly that contributes to Naspers value.
There is no nk.pl (polish facebook, 50% market share). It was sold for 200m a few years ago.
Hard to compare valuation of private and public companies, especially in different places. Better graph would with revenue, profit, growth.
- AndriusWSR 12y agoLukas, World Startup Report team here. We worked together with the Economist putting this together. We did look at private/public AND also acquired companies (in case of Allegro). Would you have a source for the acquisition information? Keep in mind that we looked at 3 companies per country in which case it could have only been coincidence. Our goal was to show the relative extent of what is possible in different countries rather than to provide an exact estimate of each company.
