Food2u, Vcentral and Spec: Mergers & Acquisitions Tech Startups May
According to an International TechTalk report, the technology industry generated $84,000M in M&A transactions and acquisitions during the first quarter of 2015. Companies want to grow at a time when there is so much competition in the market. Below we detail the M&A operations that have had Spanish companies as protagonists in May.

 

JustEat buys Food2u

Just Eat has acquired the Spanish mobile food delivery app Food2U to strengthen Just Eat's position in the online food delivery market.

Food2U's operation is based on the geolocation of the user's device to offer information about the restaurants that serve in the area from which the query is made.

Since the creation of Food2u, the startup has expanded its growth throughout Spain, covering establishments in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, Zaragoza, Malaga and Palma.

Por su parte, Just Eat continúa su camino de expansión a nuevos países y de acquisitions de compañías que impulsan su trayectoria en el mercado.

“El hambre de acquisitions en el sector de la comida a domicilio online que mueve27.000 M  sigue sin saciarse, este año ya hemos visto compras como las realizadas por  el grupo alemán Rocket Internet entre la que se encuentra la Nevera Roja” afirma Diego Gutierrez de Abra-Invest.

 Jesús Rebollo, managing director of Just Eat in Spain, stated a few months ago that in the food delivery business it is key to generate economies of scale, as it is necessary to reach a sufficiently large volume to generate the necessary profit to survive.

SoyDigital buys Vcentral

Soydigital Networka company that offers customer services has bought the Spanish app.a Vcentral which allows you to configure virtual switchboards on a smartphone or tablet.

The agreement covers the acquisition of the app, the web version and the portfolio of active customers.
