Based on its rapidly growing user base and company valuations, the fast hand is once again on the cusp. On the evening of December 14, science and technology from the media said that foreigners have learned from the informant that a new round of financing has been launched recently with a valuation of up to $ 15 billion. In response, the fast hand responded that "the information stated in the article We do not know. This year, there has been a steady stream of news on the capital of fast-winders, after media reports said that fast-trackers are planning an IPO in Hong Kong, but on the night of the day, the fast-dealers released a statement stating that the news was false. In fact, this is not the first time that fast-drivers have been listed on the market. As early as February this year, some media quoted foreign media reports that fast-timers will go public in the United States in the second half of the year. However, a month later, The $ 350 million D round of financing, valued at 3 billion U.S. dollars. According to reports at that time, fast hand in March of about 50 million live on the total registered users just over 400 million now, according to the latest data released by fast hand, the daily live users have more than 100 million, the total registered users have more than 7 In other words, in less than nine months, fast traders have achieved nearly 100% data growth. However, despite good data, fast hand this year is not without any peace of mind, on the one hand, 700 million registered users have basically touched the ceiling of the mobile Internet, then it will be difficult to achieve the same growth.On the other hand, competitors are also headlines Sniper fast hand with a complete short video matrix. Internal worries and foreign aggression have prompted forecasters to make a number of different things in 2018 and financing is clearly a much more rational move than the IPO. Let's look at the financing history of the fast hand: March 2017: 350 million US dollars, Tencent collar investment; March 2016: tens of millions of dollars, Baidu, Chinese cultural industry fund, light source capital; June 2014: $ 10M, DCM China, Sequoia Capital China, HuBoYu; April 2013: Millions of dollars, Sequoia Capital China, Morningside Capital; April 2012: 300,000 USD, Morningside Capital, Zhang Fei. From this record point of view, fast financing time is average, almost once a year, fast-hand CEO Suhwa had mentioned his financing concept before, 'no shortage of money to melt, lack of money when poor. I have a round every year, is set to die. So, assuming that fast hand next year will still maintain such a rhythm of financing, and in accordance with the customary to complete the delivery in the first quarter of the second quarter, choose to start financing now is obviously reasonable. Then let us look at the second part of the news - the valuation.According to openly broke the news, quick round of financing the valuation of up to 15 billion US dollars - apparently a bit artificial. According to foreign media reports, the headlines are looking for a new round of financing now, while the headline is now valued at 30 billion U.S. dollars. However, this 30 billion U.S. dollars is not only the value of today's APP, it also includes the headline Its short video matrix and headlines have acquired many of the overseas assets. In contrast, the single form of product apparently can not support broke the news in the 15 billion dollar valuation. On the other hand, the fast hand response did not know compared to the previous direct rumor is also obvious ambiguous, true or false, maybe we will soon know.
