Absent from this round of funding were Union Square Ventures and Charles River Ventures – two investors that had
participated in earlier Twitter rounds. Both of these venture firms have experienced significant gains in their Twitter
investments based on the latest valuation. Charles River specifically cited the high valuation of the latest round as an
obstacle to the firm’s participation. Could Twitter’s valuation be reaching unsustainable levels given the company’s
state of financial and operational development?
W e reprise our Value per Unique Visitor analysis. W hile the increase in value seems extraordinary, when looking at
the valuation per unique visitor (UV), the increase is less impressive – from $29 to $42 (+47%). Note that we would of
course prefer comparing valuation based on financial metrics such as cash flow or even revenue. However, Twitter
has not yet started generating any revenue.

Twitter deal ups the average: Total transaction value in the W eb 2.0 universe for September rose to $232.2 million, up
from $196.6 million at this time last week (we included Twitter, which did not make it into last week’s number in the
previous edition). This week has brought another eight financings to the sector, bringing the total for September to 30
transactions averaging $9.3 million each. The largest transaction in the week (excluding Twitter, which closed prior to the
beginning of the week) was a $16 million financing of Livebookings, provider of restaurant reservation applications. The
biggest deal in the month was Skype at $2.2 billion, followed by the acquisition of InXpo at $170 million, and the Twitter
venture raise at $100 million. In comparison, total capital raised in August was $208.5 million, averaging $7.7 million (27
deals); for July (35 deals) $191.4 million, averaging $5.5 million; and June (42 deals) was $204.7 million (averaging $4.9
million).
