our Investments

In 2011, we changed our investment strategy at Grupo Intercom. In recent years, we have developed more than 45 businesses and now we will be focusing on accelerating their growth. With regard to developing new business ventures, we would only do so with those that have come from within the company.

Grupo Intercom would consider investing as a financial partner, without getting involved in management nor offering any services, in companies that comply with the following requirements:

Channel

We only invest in internet-based businesses.

Sector

The industry sector must adhere to our company values. We do not invest in any businesses that are concerned with gambling, sex, weapons, unlawful enterprise or those that promote intolerant ideas or antisocial behaviour.

Types of Projects

We specialise in classified ads but we are also interested in new technologies, web 2.0, e-business, and services for mobile phones. We strongly value compliance with the 9 Keys for Internet Success. For us to invest in a project, it must not overlap with any of the other business we have developed in our portfolio of companies.

Business Maturity Stage

It is our policy to invest in businesses that have been up and running for at least one year. If a business, however, has been established for less than 12 months, it must have a proven turnover of more than 5,000 Euro per month.

Proven Investment

The entrepreneur must have invested a minimum of 40,000 Euros, or obtained an investment from one or more partners for that amount or more.

Entrepreneurial Characteristics

At Grupo Intercom, we appreciate an entrepreneur whose profile matches that of a Grupo Intercom Entrepreneur, and we also value a personal recommendation from someone who's already working within the company.

Geographical reach

At Grupo Intercom we are interested in Spanish or European projects that are aimed towards international audiences.

Knowledge of the sector

It's vitally important that the entrepreneur has a good, solid knowledge of the sector in which the project will be developed, or at least one of the partners has knowledge of that kind.

Investment volume

The majority of our investments are directed towards companies that have been built by Grupo Intercom. With regard to companies outside of Grupo Intercom, which we're willing to participate in, we invest up to 20% of the value.

 

I have a business idea that complies with these requirements. How can you help me?
