Miami, FL and Los Angeles, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 4, 2014 / DEVELOPMENT CAPITAL GROUP, INC. (OTC: DLPM, “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the acquisition of Clearance.co has been finalized as reported in the 8K filing of April 3, 2014. Clearance.co, one of the fastest growing start-up ecommerce websites in the world, was acquired by DLPM for approximately USD 40 million in an all-stock transaction which are subject to certain restrictions of resale. The completion of the transaction establishes significant revenue for Development Capital Group while enabling increased funding for marketing initiatives for the Clearance.co brand.
Newly appointed DEVELOPMENT CAPITAL GROUP CEO, Shahbod Rastegar stated, “Moving Clearance.co under the Development Capital Group umbrella enables us to grow the brand while keeping true to our business. Clearance.co is not currently optimized for mobile and we look forward to our President, Joseph Ricard developing the mobile application in-house. We are also excited with new financing opportunities that were not available to us before."
DEVELOPMENT CAPITAL GROUP President Joseph Ricard said of the acquisition, “The Clearance.co revenue is so compelling at such an early stage of their development we knew we wanted to be a part of that.” Mr. Ricard went onto say, “Clearance is making huge strides as a new ecommerce company, and is setting high records with their current technology. Additional growth will be apparent when we incorporate mobile platforms and integrate the advertising technology such as retargeting. You are seeing a huge shift from retail to ecommerce, and they are doing some pretty innovative things in this space already.”
Launched only in April 2013, Clearance.co was able to achieve over $150,000.00 in one day on Cyber Monday just six months later. Cyber Monday is known for being one of the biggest online retail days of the year.
