Kelkoo : The Book
Kelkoo today a company of the Yahoo group, has a very interesting story to tell. Pierre Chappaz, founder and CEO at the time, created the leading comparison search engine in Europe.
Last year it was sold to Yahoo for 475 million Euros. As a founding partner of Netjuice, one of the larger investors in the company and owners of "Donde Comprar", the Spanish competitor that was merged with Kelkoo, I am very thankful to Pierre Chappaz and the superb team he built for the company.
Now, there is a book coming this fall, telling the true story of the company. Pierre will write the introduction, Julien Codorniou and Cyrille de Lasteyrie are the authors and yes, I am looking forward reading it. For the time being in French, I do hope they soon get an English version for friends and investors that cannot read it.
They are still searching for the title. Any ideas?
