The French e-commerce pioneer Vente-Privée sweeped the Media Momentum Awards this year and took home four awards. The Media Momentum Awards are bestowed annually by British investment house GP Bullhound to the strongest growing European internet businesses.
Besides the Judges Award, Vente-Privée earned the top awards in the categories of Best Management, Best Execution, and Vision & Future Growth Potential.
The prize for the strongest growing business of 2010 was received by the British short-term credit company Wonga.com, who managed to grow their revenues in the last three years from 300,000 euro to 21 million euro.
The German online game company Bigpoint was recognized as the strongest growing business amongst the larger companies (> 10 million euro revenue in 2007). They were able to raise revenues to 51 million euro within three years.
The e-commerce segment was well represented with 9 companies amongst the 50 companies mentioned.
The three strongest growing online merchants were the Scandinavian shoe retailer Brandos (3rd place), BuyVIP (5th place) and the French shoe retailer Spartoo (11th place).
Similar to last year, the private shopping clubs were extraordinarily well represented: besides BuyVIP and Vente-Privée (39th place), Private Outlet (40th place) was also able to make the rankings by bringing their 2009 revenues to 24 million euro.
For the first time this year, two German members were included in the 16 person jury: Xing founder Lars Hinrichs and Marcus Polke from Acton Capital Partners.
