What kind of companies are you investing in?<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Mainly the US, although it is opening up to new markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon has invested in a total of 17 companies in the last two years. Most of them are US companies, although in 2017 it bought a Saudi Arabian company (Souq.com, a leader in e-commerce in the Middle East) and an Irish company (GameSparks, a firm that provided logistical support and software tools to video game developers).<\/span><\/p>\n

Young companies, no more than 10 years old, which have previously received support from investors.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the exception of the latest acquisition (Whole Foods, a supermarket chain, 1997), the companies acquired by Amazon are young companies. A clear example is Angel.ai, a company founded in 2015, which offers chatbots for websites. This company had already received a $ 8M round of funding led by General Catalyst Partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several of the companies bought by Amazon had previously received investment rounds, such as Elemental Technologies ($45M). With this deal, the company founded by Jeff Bezos complemented its cloud infrastructure offering for mobile video services. The price of the deal was around $500M. Another company that had received strong investor support was Graphiq,($32M) a data aggregation and visualisation company.<\/span><\/p>\n

Software elements characteristic of Amazon purchases<\/span><\/p>\n

14 of the 17 companies bought by Amazon in the last two years are software companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus we find artificial intelligence companies such as Orbeus, which has developed a photo-recognition technology based on a powerful type of artificial intelligence on neural networks and has launched the consumer application ReKognition. The ecommerce giant is investing heavily in the artificial intelligence<\/a> to automate its warehouse operations, improve supply systems and add new products to its cloud services offering.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has also invested in data processing companies such as Annapurna Labs and Graphiq, video companies such as Elemental Technologies and mobile payments company Emvantage.<\/span><\/p>\n
