TMT Investments has doubled its stake in DepositPhotos, the US-based privately-owned company that provides an online marketplace for buying and selling images. Furthermore, the venture capitalist also revealed that its portfolio company Gild, the US-based company focused on the recruitment of top developers, has raised c.$2.1 million through an equity financing. As TMT Investments continues to build a high quality and diversified portfolio of investments in companies that operate in high growth, internet-based sectors, we believe it has the potential to generate an attractive rate of return for shareholders.

DepositPhotos

TMT Investments has increased its holdings in DepositPhotos to 30% after exercising its options to acquire 413,530 shares in the business (206,764 new shares and 206,766 existing shares) for $2 million. The previous agreement, which was made on 26th June 2011, saw TMT Investments invest a total $1 million in the business for a 15% stake. Assuming that the additional investment is a good indication of the fair value of the business, TMT Investments’ initial investment has effectively doubled in value, which is extremely encouraging to see.

Gild

The Gild equity financing, which was led by existing shareholder Globespan Capital Partners and a number of new prominent investors, was completed at $0.0186 per share. This compares to $0.0479 per share [$325,000 (gross)], which is the price at which TMT acquired its original 3.56% stake in the business on 5th December 2011. Following the completion of the equity placement, TMT Investments will hold 2.21% of Gild’s fully-diluted equity capital.

Nevertheless, with the global recruitment market estimated at more than $300 billion (source: company), we see huge potential here. We feel that Sheeroy D.Desai – who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and helped grow revenues at his previous company, Sapient, the NASDAQ-listed professional services group, to more than $500 million – is definitely up for the task. Furthermore, we note that Gild has more than 500,000 registered software developers and a number of leading technology companies registered, including Salesforce.com, Yahoo and Oracle. This, we believe, augers very well for the company.

The hot share tips given here are of necessity, general. They cannot relate to the individual circumstances of investors. Anyone considering following the share tips contained here should seek independent advice from a Financial Services Authority authorised Stockbroker or Financial Adviser.

The value of investments can go down as well as up. The past is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Investing in shares can lose you part or all of your capital although the potential returns are theoretically unlimited. The difference between the buy share price and the sell share price for smaller company shares (penny shares) can be significant. Profits from dealing in shares may be liable to tax - the level of tax and bases of relief from tax are subject to change. Changes in the rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value or price of an investment in sterling terms if it is denominated in a foreign currency. Financial spread betting is a high risk investment, losses from which are potentially unlimited. Some of the shares recommended on this site will be smaller company shares. By their nature such investments can be relatively illiquid and thus hard to trade. And that makes such investments more of a high risk than larger company shares (or 'small caps'/'penny shares'). UK-Analyst.com defines a smaller company share as any stock traded on AIM or PLUS or which has a market capitalisation of less than GBP300 million.
