			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hemos cerrado el año 2011 con la inversion en <a href="http://www.whisbi.com" target="_blank">Whisbi Technologies</a>. Es nuestra tercer participada del nuevo fondo de <a href="http://www.active-vp.com" target="_blank">ACTIVE Venture Partners</a> despues de <a href="http://www.oooferton.com" target="_blank">Oooferton</a> y <a href="http://www.restalo.com" target="_blank">Restalo</a>. Estamos muy contentos, por que hemos probado, que somos capaces de realizar transacciones de venture capital en solo 12 semanas desde el primer contacto hasta la firma ante notari<a href="http://christopherpommerening.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/whisbi.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-80 alignright" title="whisbi" src="http://christopherpommerening.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/whisbi.png?w=300&#038;h=244" alt="" width="300" height="244" /></a>o.</p>
<p>Whisbi nos ha impresionado con su tecnología pionera y patentada de optimización del e-commerce. Es la única compañía mundial que ofrece servicios de video agente en el canal de venta online y con nuestra inversion va a prepara su proyección internacional.</p>
<p>Whisbi consigue humanizar el proceso de venta online, lo que permite a sus clientes triplicar las ventas a través del canal de Internet. La empresa española tiene su sede en Madrid y Barcelona y ofrece una solución de atención al cliente personalizada y en tiempo real a través de video llamadas. Un agente comercial, formado y experto en el proceso online, atiende al cliente durante todo el proceso de contratación mediante un sistema integrado de voz, video y chat, empleando sólo un ordenador y un teléfono fijo o móvil. Esta solución, basada en tecnología patentada mundialmente, facilita el proceso de venta de servicios y productos como seguros, productos bancarios, telefonía, telecomunicaciones, etc.</p>
<p>Cerca de un millón de personas han utilizado ya el canal de comunicación online diseñado por Whisbi para la compra de servicios y productos.</p>
<p>La compañía fue fundada  por <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/alex-bisbe-tosat/18/717/885" target="_blank">Alex Bisbe</a>, CEO, y <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jose-luis-cantero-escola/18/a11/26" target="_blank">Jose Luis Cantero</a>, CTO, y cuenta ya  con clientes que utilizan su tecnología como <a href="http://www.movistar.es/on/pub/servicios/onTOEntrada/0,,entrada%2Blanding_adsl%2Bv_segmento%2BAHOG%2Bv_idioma%2Bes%2BambitoAcceso%2Bpub,00.html?uri=/on/io/es/landing/adsl/index_whisbi.html&amp;parametro=home&amp;ow=HOPAA102&amp;v_procede=home&amp;v_segmento=AHOG&amp;v_idioma=es" target="_blank">Movistar</a>, Mutua Madrileña, Citibank, Ibanesto.com, Iberdrola y UCI entre otros.</p>
<p>El crecimiento del 2011 ha sido de un 165% respecto al año anterior y Whisbi emplea a más de 60 personas, además de generar otros 40 empleos indirectos.  Para 2012 está planificado emplear 30 personas adicionales y llegar a una facturación de 14 millones de euros.</p>
<p>Como dice mi socio<a href="http://www.active-vp.com/team/management-team/blair-maclaren/" target="_blank"> Blair MacLaren</a>: Whisbi cuenta con todos los requisitos que nos hacen decidir nuestra inversión en una compañía: un equipo profesional con carácter innovador y emprendedor, servicios con tecnología puntera, una cartera de clientes sólida y un  gran potencial de crecimiento y expansión a nivel internacional.</p>
<p>Whisbi prepara ya su salida al exterior priorizando los mercados Latinoaméricanos, europeos, especialmente el Reino Unido y Alemania, y esperar abrir una delegación en Estados Unidos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://christopherpommerening.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/logoshort_active_large.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-72 alignright" title="logoshort_active_large" src="http://christopherpommerening.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/logoshort_active_large.jpg?w=240&#038;h=125" alt="" width="240" height="125" /></a></p>
<p>Hemos captado 25 millones de euros a través de nuestra gestora de capital riesgo <a href="http://www.active-vp.com" target="_blank">ACTIVE Venture Partners SGECR</a> para el primer cierre de nuestro segundo fondo ACTIVE Venture II F.C.R.. Son los frutos de nuestro trabajo de los últimos 18 meses que han sido unos de los mas complicados de mi vida, por que no es un secreto que ha sido un periodo muy complicado para levantar fondos.</p>
<p>En 2009 muchos otros empresas de capital riesgo han parado sus esfuerzos de levantar nuevos fondos o han retrasado el lanzamiento de nuevos fondos a un futuro no definido. seguramente es un estrategia muy valida, por que negociar con nuevos inversores en plena crisis es lo mas complicado y agotador que uno se puede imagina. En muchas ocasiones hemos llegado a nuestros limites en todos los sentidos. Al final lo hemos conseguido y hemos crecido como personas y como equipo. Estamos muy contentos con nuestros socios inversores y el hecho que Active es una de las pocas gestoras de venture en Europa que ha logrado su primer cierre durante el 2010.</p>
<p>El equipo ACTIVE <strong>muy</strong> feliz:</p>
<p><a href="http://christopherpommerening.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/active-team.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-71" title="Active Team" src="http://christopherpommerening.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/active-team.png?w=300&#038;h=217" alt="" width="300" height="217" /></a></p>
<p>ACTIVE Venture II cuenta con inversores privados e inversores institucionales de primer nivel Europeo. Más del 50% de todos los compromisos viene por parte de un grupo de 3 inversores privados (Family Offices) y de nosotros mismos como equipo gestor de ACTIVE. El restante montante proviene del NEOTEC CAPITAL RIESGO SOCIEDAD DE FONDOS SA promovido por el CDTI, participado y gestionado por el FONDO EUROPEO de INVERSIONES, y por Axis/ICO a través de su fondo FESPYME FCR.</p>
<p>Tenemos previsto aumentar el compromiso del ACTIVE Venture II durante 2011 y tenemos planificado el siguiente cierre para marzo 2011. Contamos con compromisos adicionales para el próximo cierre y estamos en negociaciones avanzadas con varios nuevos inversores.</p>
<p><a href="http://http://www.active-vp.com/investment-strategy/general/" target="_blank">La estratégica de inversión de ACTIVE Venture II</a> es de invertir dos tercios en España y un tercio en del resto de Europa, con un peso especial en Alemania y Escandinavia. Nuestro enfoque sectorial está centrado en internet, software, telecomunicación y eficiencias energéticas. Estamos especializado en las fases de start-up (facturación mínima mensual de €50.000) y expansión, y las cantidades de inversión oscilarán entre 500.000 y 4.000.000 euros.</p>
<p>Ya hemos realizado la primera inversión a travez  de ACTIVE Venture II y hemos invertido  en la empresa de e-commerce Oferton Liveshopping S.L. (<a href="http://www.oooferton.com" target="_blank">www.oooferton.com</a>), la primera empresa de Liveshopping en España.</p>
<p>Os deseamos una feliz navidad y un fantástico 2011&#8230;</p>
<p>muy cansado, pero muy contento&#8230; Christopher Pommerening</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hemos invertido en <a href="http://www.oooferton.com" target="_blank">Oooferton.com</a>, la primera plataforma de Liveshopping nacional, para consolidar su liderazgo.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hemos invertido €500.000 a través de nuestro nuevo fondo Active Venture II FCR gestionado por nuestra gestora <a href="http://www.active-vp.com" target="_blank">Active      Venture Partnes</a>.  Hemos entrado en el capital tras corroborar la solidez del      proyecto,  la profesionalidad de sus      fundadores y las expectativas de crecimiento de la compañía. El Fundador y CEO de Oooferton, <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=13285667&amp;authType=name&amp;authToken=-zGs&amp;locale=en_US&amp;pvs=pp&amp;pohelp=&amp;trk=ppro_viewmore">Luis Krug</a> , ya conocemos mas de 4 años y tenemos mucha confianza en el.<br />
</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>La      compañía cuenta con más de 280.000 miembros y 88.000 compradores que han      confiado en Oooferton para sus compras online en materia de electrónica,      ocio y moda. Oooferton espera cerrar el año con      más de 90.000 envíos realizados y una facturación entorno a los 2,4      millones de euros. </strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>El      precio de los “ofertones”, con hasta un 80% de descuento y que se renuevan      cada día; la venta viva y dinámica, con un foro abierto entre los      compradores, y la calidad de los productos y el servicio han convertido a      Oooferton en líder en el Liveshopping en España. </strong></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://christopherpommerening.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/oooferton-screen.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-67" title="oooferton screen" src="http://christopherpommerening.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/oooferton-screen.jpg?w=600&#038;h=306" alt="" width="600" height="306" /></a></p>
<p>Oooferton está de fiesta. Tras un año y medio de andadura se ha consolidado como la primera plataforma de Liveshopping en España, con más de 286.000 miembros y 88.000 compradores frecuentes. La compañía, con sede en Cerdanyola del Vallès y que espera cerrar este año con 2,4 millones de euros de facturación y más de 90.000 envíos de producto, quiere compartir estos buenos resultados con sus clientes y por ello ha renovado la imagen de su web mejorando sus funcionalidades y ha puesto en marcha una gran campaña de ofertas.</p>
<p>El éxito de Oooferton se basa, según su fundador &amp; CEO Luis Krug, en <strong>“los increíbles precios que ofrecemos en nuestros productos de última tecnología y tendencia. Somos el lujo asequible en tiempos de crisis. Y somos tan competitivos en el precio que contamos con un foro abierto y dinámico para mantener un dialogo constante  con los usuarios”.</strong> El modelo de negocio de la compañía española se inspira en la plataforma de mayor éxito en Estados Unidos, <a href="http://www.woot.com">woot.com</a>, una referencia en la venta online, recientemente adquirida por el gigante <a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon</a>. Oooferton  sigue la estela de woot.com con ganancias desde el primer día de andadura y su éxito y progresión imparable confirma los últimos datos conocidos sobre el sector: la tasa de crecimiento medio del e-commerce en España es del 40% anual.</p>
<p><strong>La caza del ofertón: una fórmula que convence</strong></p>
<p>Oooferton es una plataforma abierta, sin necesidad de registrarse para ver las ofertas, que lanza 3 nuevos productos cada día en electrónica, ocio y moda. Los “ofertones” sólo perduran 24 horas y tienen un stock limitado. Los descuentos superan habitualmente más del 50% del precio de venta al público, llegando fácilmente al 80%. Cada medianoche aparecen nuevos “ofertones”.</p>
<p>A través del foro los usuarios pueden interactuar con los administradores de la plataforma y entre sí comentando los productos en oferta. Oooferton promueve, a diferencia de otros compañías, la interactividad del usuario, ya que si promueven la plataforma pueden obtener puntos (<em>cash points</em>) canjeables por descuentos. También hay acceso a los “ofertones” a través de Twitter y Facebook. En esta red social puedes hacerte amigo de “Claudia” que te informa puntualmente de las novedades en la web de Oooferton.   Otra ventaja de la plataforma es la posibilidad de aparcar los pedidos para realizar un único envío y ahorrar en gastos.</p>
<p>El complemento a los servicios de Oooferton lo ofrece “Claudiasoutlet”, un club privado de compras con todas las ofertas que no caben en Oooferton y que ofrece campañas de marcas con un elevado descuento.</p>
<p>Después de nuestra buena experiencia con<a href="http://www.buyvip.com"> BuyVIP</a>, Llevamos analizado el mercado europeo de e-commerce desde hace tiempo e identificamos Oooferton como el proyecto con más crecimiento y visión, junto con uno de los equipos con más experiencia en el sector del comercio electrónico. Esta combinación ideal nos ha convencido para realizar esta inversión.<strong> </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Después de muchos años de preparaciones hemos realizado nuestro próximo proyecto emprendedor y gran sueño&#8230;</p>
<p>La creación de nuestra propia gestora de entidades de capital riesgo. (también explica, por que no he tenido tiempo en los últimos 10 meses en dedicarme escribir en este blog <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>La nueva gestora se llama <a href="http://www.active-vp.com" target="_blank">Active Venture Partners (ACTIVE) </a>y nace con el objetivo de dinamizar nuevos fondos para apoyar a emprendedores con proyectos tecnológicos y visión internacional. La gestora tiene su sede en Barcelona y desarrolla su actividad en el ámbito europeo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.active-vp.com" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-54" title="Active Screen shot" src="http://christopherpommerening.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/active-screen-shot1.jpg?w=682&#038;h=360" alt="Active Screen shot" width="682" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>ACTIVE nace con un capital de 300.000 euros y tiene como socio único a Active Capital Partners S.L. (ACP) que funciona como nuestra empresa holding desde el año 2002.  Seguimos los 4 socios de siempre; Philipp Schroeder, Ricard Söderberg, nuestro prisidente , mentor, advisor y gran amigo Alfredo Bassal Riera y yo.</p>
<p>El consejo de ACTIVE está compuesto por los tres socios ejecutivos, Philipp Schroeder, Ricard Söderberg y yo mismo. La vicepresidencia la ocupa Joaquín Molins–Gil y la presidencia Alfredo  Bassal Riera.</p>
<p>La nueva sociedad gestora estará bajo la supervisión de la CNMV (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores).</p>
<p>El primer fondo que ACTIVE gestionará es la Sociedad de Capital Riesgo Molins Capital Inversión, que ya estamos gestionando desde el año 2004. Este primer fondo cuenta con un capital comprometido de 20 millones de euros y participa actualmente en compañías tecnológicas como la firma de comercio electrónico <a href="http://www.buyvip.com" target="_blank">BuyVip</a>, la empresa de software <a href="http://www.Polymita.com" target="_blank">Polymita Technologies</a>, la compañía de aplicaciones móviles <a href="http://www.GoldenGekko.com" target="_blank">Golden Gekko</a>, la firma experta en gestión y medición de la experiencia de usuario <a href="http://www.userzoom.com" target="_blank">Xperience Consulting</a> o la empresa de servicios radiológicos a distancia Telemedicine Clinic. El fondo también cuenta entre sus participadas con empresas no tecnológicas como la cadena de vinotecas <a href="http://www.VinusBrindis.com" target="_blank">Vinus Brindis</a>.</p>
<p>Nuestro primer proyecto con Active Venture Partners sera el lanzamiento de nuestro segundo fondo ACTIVE II que está previsto sea operativo a partir de finales de 2009. Con el nuevo fondo queremos realizar inversiones en empresas europeas de base tecnológica: Software, Internet, Telecomunicaciones y Cleantech, con especial atención al mercado español, y que se encuentren en fase de arranque o expansión con un modelo de negocio que ya genere ingresos. Las inversiones previstas oscilarán entre los €500.000 y los €4.000.000 por proyecto.</p>
<p>Ya ha salido un articulo en <a href="http://www.expansion.com/2009/09/02/catalunya/1251922343.html" target="_blank">Expansion</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For our next Venturepreneurs´Summit in Barcelona on the 22nd &#8211; 23rd of November we have created an event that we call the Venturepreneurs Lounge:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.venturepreneurs.org/lounge.html" target="_blank">The Venturepreneurs&#8217; Lounge</a> is one of the activities of the Summit, aimed towards new entrepreneurs whose ideas or projects are in the seed stage. Five entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to present their new businesses at the Venturepreneurs&#8217; Lounge during the Summit on Sunday the 23rd of November and will also receive valuable feedback from some of Europe&#8217;s greatest Venturepreneurs.</p>
<p>It is not just about seed investment, it is also about who is investing in your new business.  If you wish to be considered for one of the five entrepreneurial slots, you just have to send your project presentation in English to us at <a title="Links active once published" href="mailto:team@acpvc.com">team@acpvc.com</a> prior to the 8th of November.</p>
<p>One week before the summit we will let you know whether you have been selected to present your project to the Venturepreneurs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the middle of the worst economic crisis since a long time we finalized our next investment in <a href="http://www.xperienceconsulting.com/eng/index.asp" target="_blank">Xperience Consulting</a>. The three founders Xavier Mestres, Javier Darriba and Alfonso de la Nuez created the Spanish company Xperience Consulting in 2001with offices in Barcelona, Madrid and Sunnyvale &#8211; Silicon Valley . The company is specialised in the analysis, optimization and usability experience of users of interactive products and services such as websites, intranets, mobile applications, video games, etc. Already today the company has an impressive list of global companies like Google, eBay, Yahoo, Sol Meliá, Movistar, Iberia, Mapfre, Vodafone, Bankinter and many more&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://christopherpommerening.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/xperience.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-25" title="xperience" src="http://christopherpommerening.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/xperience.jpg?w=450&#038;h=416" alt="" width="450" height="416" /></a></p>
<p>The investment was structured by <a href="http://www.acpvc.com/ceemes/show.php?schroeder" target="_blank">Philipp Schroeder </a>and <a href="http://www.acpvc.com/ceemes/show.php?maclaren" target="_blank">Blair MacLaren</a>. We injected €1,7 million through MCI (Molins Capital Inversion S.C.R. SA) in order to launch internationally the new software <a href="www.userzoom.com" target="_blank">UserZoom</a>. It permits usability departments to design, create and execute usability surveys with large numbers of users.  The usability testing market in Europe grows 35% on a yearly average and according to estimations of Xperience Consulting, 72% of UK based companies will increase their usability budgets for next year. the initial success of the new software as a service offering of UserZoom with companies like Yahoo, eBay, Google or Apple gives an indication of the growth potential of Xperience Consulting.</p>
<p>Xperience has a team of 32 professionals and will most likely finalize 2008 with revenues of €2.500.000 and a new office in the UK. In 2009 we expect that the company will grow to €4.000.000 in revenues.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">BuyVIP is a private shopping community which was founded just two years ago by Gustavo Garcia and Gerald Heydenreich and now boosts a community of more than 2 Mio members in Spain, Germany and Italy. With <a href="http://www.acpvc.com" target="_blank">Active Capital Partners</a> we invested in the early stage round in February 2007. <a href="http://www.3i.com" target="_blank">3i</a> joined us as co-investors in july 2007. In this round 3i extends its stake and </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">MCI (Molins Capital Inversión, VC fund advised by Active Capital Partners) </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">also participates in this round.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">BuyVIP has recently reached its operational break-even and has generated in the first half of 2008 already more than 12 Mio. € in revenues.
