Karmaloop.com Shows 81% Growth for 2011, with Revenues Topping $130 Million
World’s #1 Online Streetwear Retailer shows no sign of slowing down
(Boston, MA. January 11, 2012) Karmaloop.com today announced an estimated 2011 revenue number of $130 million – up 81% from its 2010 revenues of $72 million. This is the 11th straight year of double-digit percentage growth for the privately-held, Boston-based company. The company also released a list of highlights and milestones achieved in 2011 [see below].
“We’re thrilled to report another record year for Karmaloop,” said Karmaloop.com Founder and CEO Greg Selkoe. “We work hard to give our customers the brands and styles they want to buy, as well as the relevant and dynamic online video content that they demand. We remain as connected as ever to our audience through multiple channels and platforms, especially via social media. This close relationship allows us to be responsive to, as well as greatly influenced by, our customers.”
Selkoe continued, “Karmaloop is more than just a retailer; it is a community of style, a media property, and the epicenter of Verge Culture. With all the amazing content on Karmaloop TV, our great Men’s and Women’s blogs, our exclusives and contests, and many other initiatives we go the extra mile to connect. And it continues to pay off.”
As customers and industry insiders know, Selkoe lists his personal cell phone, email address and Twitter handle at the end of each of his frequent personal notes to the company’s email list (as well as on the company’s website). Karmaloop’s growing customer base (in the millions, in over 40 countries) can always go right to the top, if necessary. He encourages them to get in touch if they have ideas, issues, or just want to shoot the breeze. And it’s not an empty gesture – he responds to over a thousand customers a month via these personal avenues of communication.
Featured in national publications including USA Today, WWD and Internet Retailer in December 2011 pertaining to its status as a leading online retailer, Karmaloop.com was particularly explosive when it counted most: Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2011. On both days (Friday, November 25 and Monday, November 28) – the two biggest in the company’s 11-year history – Karmaloop reported growth of more than 125% from the corresponding days in 2010: a truly impressive feat for an already-thriving retail juggernaut.
Karmaloop is currently ranked #180 on Internet Retailer’s “Top 500” list of e-commerce retailers in the US. Karmaloop is projecting 60% growth in 2012, as well as the launch of several new projects and sites.
PLNDR.com, Karmaloop’s men’s and women’s flash sale website, finished 2011 with $16.5 million dollars in revenue, bringing their revenue total to $20 million since the site launched in Q2 of 2010.

Mass High Tech - Friday December 2, 2011
Moneytree statistics posted on the National Venture Capital Association website paint a potentially troublesome picture for the venture industry. In recent years, VC investment into portfolio companies has far outpaced the inflow of limited partner investments into venture funds. On a year-to-date basis through Sept. 30. 2011, VC investments in portfolio companies totaled $21.2 billion compared to VC fundraising of just $12.2 billion. Anyone with a working knowledge of arithmetic can see that this situation isn’t sustainable.
Based on my discussions with university endowments and pension funds over the last couple of years, the story behind the numbers raises additional concerns. While most limited partners are still clamoring to invest in the top 10 percent of venture capital funds based on performance, the picture for the bottom 90 percent isn’t so clear. Many venture capitalists are not looking forward to the process of raising their next fund and are waiting for a few more successful exits in their portfolios to improve their chances.
Lower fundraising by venture funds doesn’t directly affect today’s venture backed startups because most venture funds don’t cross over from one fund to the next. Fund I companies don’t often get funded by Fund II as there are usually prohibitions in limited partner documents against this to avoid potential conflicts. VC backed entrepreneurs may feel the residual effects of delayed fundraising by their venture investors as reserves constrict. That can set up an interesting dynamic in the board room where an entrepreneur asks for more capital to fund their growth. VCs might suddenly develop a case of “alligator arms” – which aren’t quite long enough to reach those seemingly deep pockets. At the extreme, if the VC is at the end of their current fund, they may not have reserves to support even their successful investments. They are reticent to bring in a new outside investor for fear of a cram-down round.
Leverage in the form of bank loans and venture debt can provide some cash relief in the near term without upsetting the company’s cap table. Sources of venture debt are plentiful. Leverage is tempting but also raises the future burn rate of the business due to required principal and interest payments. Higher burn rates translate into higher risk profiles for entrepreneurial companies and need to be evaluated carefully against projected cash flows.
Is venture debt the new venture capital?
by Tim O'Loughlin, Director Eastward Capital
http://www.masshightech.com/stories/2011/11/07/daily39-Is-venture-debt-the-new-venture-capital.html
Entrepreneurs often get confused as to when to raise venture capital versus venture debt. Their confusion is understandable as the terms of venture debt and venture capital converge at the margin and misconceptions abound.
Equity is permanent and debt must be repaid, right?
The primary difference between venture debt and venture capital is that debt must be repaid. VCs are also very interested in getting their capital back plus a profit. There are some current market-dynamics which make the distinction between the repayment of venture debt and the liquidity needs of venture capital blur.
I can already hear the skeptics squirming in their seats saying, “Whoa!? A VC hoping to get their money back is a lot different than a lender requiring repayment.” To those skeptics, I say three things:
1. We’re hiring! Skepticism is a core requirement course in any venture debt training program.
2. Interest-Only Roulette: Venture debt usually involves an upfront period where the emerging growth company pays just the interest on the debt. In theory, the tech company begins to make principle payments at the end of this interest-only period. In recent months, companies have aggressively negotiated extensions of their interest-only periods; sometimes by refinancing with another lender. Should the company ultimately fail, the last lender holding the bag gets the usual outcome in Russian roulette…hence the name. When debt isn’t repaid, it becomes a semi-permanent part of a company’s balance sheet.
3. Dividend Recaps: Venture capitalists need liquidity events – particularly if they are raising a new fund. If companies are more slowly successful than planned, the VC may propose a dividend recap to get some liquidity. The tech company declares a dividend and pays cash out to the investors. The source of the funds for the dividend? You guessed it…venture debt. When dividends are paid, equity isn’t the ‘permanent’ capital that it originally appeared to be.
If the line between equity and debt is blurred, how does an entrepreneur pick the right financing strategy for the business? Equity should be raised when a company needs a 4+ year financing horizon and when cash flows are highly volatile. Less dilutive debt options can be considered when the business expects future cash flows or liquidity events in the two-to-three year time frame. The entrepreneur should also take care to make sure that debt service payments are no more than 30 percent of their burn rate because future equity investors want their cash used to grow the business – not to repay debt.
So, who do VCs compete with when sourcing investment opportunities? They compete with anyone with a checkbook and increasingly venture debt firms have very large checkbooks.

Company Ranks Number Three Out of Nearly 6,000 Considered for Prestigious Listing
SAN JOSE, CA – March 11, 2011 – Xactly Corporation, the leader in on-demand sales performance management (SPM), has been named to The Wall Street Journal’s prestigious list of the “Top 50 Venture-Backed Companies.” Xactly ranked number three in the annual ranking, which was announced on March 10, 20111.
According to The Wall Street Journal, “To be eligible for the ranking — compiled by research firm VentureSource, a unit of Journal owner News Corp. — companies must have received an equity round of financing in the past three years and be valued at less than $1 billion.” It also noted that “Some 5,743 candidates were considered.”
The “Top 50 Venture-Backed Companies” rating seeks to identify organizations that “have the greatest promise to succeed.” Companies were selected based on the track record of success for the venture-capital investors who sit on the company’s board, the amount of capital raised by the company over the past three years, an editorial ranking, the track record of success for the entrepreneurial CEO and founders, and the recent growth in value of the company.
“Five years ago, Xactly took a gamble on a new approach to an age old problem – finding a better way to motivate sales personnel,” said Christopher Cabrera, president and CEO, Xactly Corporation. “Today, more than 340 customers of all sizes and industries rely on our 100 percent SaaS-based solutions to better manage their sales compensation and drive improved rep behavior and business results. Being named to The Wall Street Journal’s ’Top 50 Venture-Backed Companies’ is further testament to the success of our business, products, and people, as well as to our Venture Capital partners who had the foresight to take a chance on a then little-known model called Software-as-a-Service.”
Xactly was founded by Cabrera and CTO, Satish Palvai in 2005. A pioneer in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Xactly was the first company to offer a 100 percent on-demand solution for managing incentive compensation management – eliminating the need for expensive on-premise software solutions and opening the door for customers of all sizes to benefit from automated, real-time visibility into sales performance.
