I am always baffled, why don't VC invest in International Logistics companies, which are insanely profitable everywhere. I am not talking about Carriers, instead, the 3rd Party logistics companies like us. They are not only profitable, but they also grow like weed. Everytime I see, a random social app, generating tens of millions, I become sad. Because the social app in question, would barely make any tangible profit in any foreseeable future.<p>Where as in our industry a medium sized company with $1-$5 Million funding can easily pay back the entire investment in 10-15 years. Which one can further invest to open offices in other countries such as China, I don't even need to mention, how much potential China holds for the freight industry.<p>Shameless Plug: http://tron.pk/
Why would some one want to invest in something where they only get their money back in 10-15 years? sequoia capital turned 58M(8M in 2011 and 50M in 2013) into >$2 billion in whatsapp and 1.5B was made with the 8M.
