One key to success is to give people what they really need, give them something what they don’t have. Back then, we all needed fast and simple communication in the internet. Viber appeared at the right time and at the right place. Easy registration process has been one of our strengths: we use a phone number to set up and confirm user Caller ID. In addition, Viber was (and still is) free to download. The app is also easy to install and the product is well explained. Before, there were apps where you needed to have the registration first, then you had to type in other person’s nickname, wait for the response to your request,etc. With Viber the whole process has been fast, convenient and transparent.

Da ich fundamental argumentiere, lautet mein Credo: "Die Aktie ist fundamental extrem unterbewertet - und diese Unterbewertung wird sich in alllen zeitlichen Sichten auflösen."
Wichtig sind natürlich die Mitte Februar kommenden Quartalsergebnisse oder beispielsweise ein Börsengang von Lyft, der die versteckten Juwelen aufzeigt.
Ich warte noch auf ein Kaufsignal und meinen Einstieg.
Please introduce yourself and your FinTech Startup Azimo to our readers!
I’m Dora and I have joined the Azimo team in 2014 bringing in experience from across the financial sector.
As Head of Business Development, my main responsibility is instrumental in building up Azimo’s network of partners across more than 190 countries and scaling the business into new markets. It’s a constantly evolving role as the company is growing so fast – day-to- day tasks can involve anything from building relationships with partner banks, buildup of strategic partnerships and fundraising to the planning and implementation of international expansion.

Natürlich ist es wichtig bei einem Invest einen möglichst guten EK zu haben, also Bodenbildung abwarten und erst kaufen wenn Rakuten nachgewiesen hat das die diversen Zukäufe einen Beitrag zu Umsatz und vorallem Gewinn beitragen können und der Kurs nachhaltig eine Erholungstendenz zeigt.
Das kann noch dauern, bis dahin verbrennt man Geld.

Asia in particular has welcomed the arrival of this new trend. In Japan, Rakuten’s presence in an expanding industry continues to grow, with a recent announcement that annualized C2C sales are approaching 100 billion yen. The company burst onto the C2C scene with its own flea market app back in 2014, called Rakuma, allowing users in Japan to sell items directly to other users through the platform. After two years of strong growth and expansion into Taiwan with Rakuma, the acquisition of Fril, the C2C fashion app that wildly over-indexes with female millennials, placed Rakuten firmly on the map as an industry leader in this space.
