Recherchen in NL und USA haben eingehende Gerüchte um den bis dato nicht an die Öffentlichkeit getretenen Investor bei Letsbuyit.com aufgetan. Nachdem mit Kimvestor und Aldi bereits mehrere Namen in diversen Foren aufgetaucht waren, ist nun ein drittes namhaftes Unternehmen im Spiel:

Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart hat Anfang letzten Jahres sein Portal Wal-Mart.com
in Partnerschaft mit einer der grössten amerikanischen Venture-Capital Gesellschaften Accel Partners gegründet. Der Sitz der pre-IPO company befindet sich im Silicon-Valley, USA.

Accel Partners ist u.a. verstärkt im Bereich e-commerce tätig.

Zusätzlich genährt wird dieses Gerücht von der Tatsache, das bereits ein Unternehmen Namens LETSTALK.COM (www.letstalk.com) im Portfolio der Beteiligungsgesellschaft zu finden ist.

Hier werden, ähnlich dem Konzept von LetsBuyIt Waren über das Internet angeboten, u.a. Handys und Pocket-Computer.

Dies wiederum deckt sich mit dem mitgeteilten zukünftigen Focus von Letsbuyit auf bestimmte Produktbereiche.

ZU WAL-MART:

Walmart.com is an independent, pre-IPO company formed in January 2000. Walmart.com is jointly owned by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., the employees of Walmart.com, and Accel Partners, one of Silicon Valley`s most highly respected venture-capital firms. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., is the majority owner, although Walmart.com is independent, with its own board of directors and management team.

Though Walmart.com is an independent company, we like to think we have one foot in California`s Silicon Valley and the other foot in Bentonville, Arkansas. Our headquarters are located in the San Francisco Bay area, where we have access to the world`s deepest pool of Internet executive and technical talent. But we think of ourselves, first and foremost, as a retailer. In that respect, we are fortunate to have ties to Bentonville, where Sam Walton opened the first store that bore the Walton name and where Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., is still based today.

With our ties to Bentonville, we`re able to tap into many of the things that have made Wal-Mart a universally known brand – things like excellent vendor relationships, highly efficient back-office systems, an unswerving commitment to Sam Walton`s "Always low prices" philosophy, and an unrivalled group of experienced retailers who strive each day to make the customer number one.

In short, at Walmart.com we`re passionate about combining the best of two great worlds, Silicon Valley and Bentonville, in order to bring our customers what they want: a wide assortment of their favorite products, Every Day Low Prices, guaranteed satisfaction, friendly service, convenient hours (24 hours, 7 days a week, to be exact) and a great online shopping experience.

b/ ZU ACCEL PARTNERS:

Accel Partners is a venture capital firm dedicated to helping outstanding entrepreneurs build world-class technology companies. In order to meet this challenge with a "prepared mind," we focus the investment of over $3 billion.

Accel began its aggressive investment in the Internet with UUNET, one of the venture community`s first Internet investments, and continues to look for exceptional opportunities in Internet enabling technology like RealNetworks` streaming media. At the same time, we have evolved our enterprise software activity, which included companies such as Remedy, Arbor, and Illustra, into a focus on the Enterprise Intranet. Additional areas of interest include vertical applications, electronic commerce, and security.
