Take rate, GMV growth, supply/demand balance, repeat transaction rate, and NPS from both sides of the market.
What are the main risks in marketplace acquisitions?
Liquidity risk (loss of supply or demand side), regulatory exposure in certain verticals, and the challenge of maintaining both sides of the market post-acquisition.
