Alessandro Casartelli, Executive Director at GP Bullhound, said: “In Q1, we saw a slight decrease in valuations across all verticals in the Marketplaces sector, after a very strong performance in H2 2020. In line with Q4 2020, marketplaces companies continue to get strong traction in terms of private placements and M&A. Q1 2021 has been the strongest quarter so far in terms of IPO activity with landmark listings, but also with smaller companies that are choosing the public market route. We anticipate a very busy year for the IPO markets.”
