Lessons Learned Building Online Marketplaces

I had the pleasure of being invited to be the closing keynote speaker at the Global Online Marketplaces Summit in Miami. I presented how FJ Labs evaluates marketplaces we invest in or build. I discussed best practices in building marketplaces and common pitfalls. I also presented the four marketplace thesis FJ Labs is currently pursuing.

  • Hi Fabrice, excellent presentation. Fully agree that listing fees should vary based on location and category. I have a question regarding the TV campaigns, it has definitely set a new plateau but looking at the pageviews it seems to decrease heavily over the months. Do you have any stats on ROI?

  • Thanks, Fabrice, for being our closing speaker. You ROCKED it! We got two complaints: «I would have liked to hear a lot more from him,» and «He spoke so well, but so fast.» (That’s just you!) Your presentation and information were terrific, and you really sent people away *thinking,* which is exactly what a closing speaker should do. Thanks again!
