Trade Me financial results out today
We delivered our first full year financial results as a publicly listed company today, for the 12 months to 30 June 2012. If you're interested in finding out more information about the results, or just general information about investing in Trade Me, head on over to the official Trade Me Group investor relations site.
As well as all the financial information, we also announced the acquisition of Tradevine. This is a cloud-based inventory management tool with cool integration into Trade Me. It provides sellers with a dashboard to manage sales, inventory and listings and we think it will be a valuable tool for retailers. You can read more about what they do over at tradevine.co.nz.
A name change: Kiwis for kiwi
Back in May we announced a new partnership with the Save the Kiwi Trust. After 21 years, the Save the Kiwi Trust is becoming an independent trust with a new name: Kiwis for kiwi. As part of this change, its flash new logo below will appear on listings where the seller has pledged to donate their “success fee top-up”.
The funds from Trade Me sellers will support national kiwi recovery goals, which include doubling the population of the critically endangered rowi kiwi population on the South Island’s West Coast by 2018.
If you’re selling an item on Trade Me and want to donate to Kiwis for kiwi, just tick the check-box during the sell process. Please check out our help section for more information.

Helping entrepreneurs @ Startup Weekend Wellington
Trade Me was founded by a young and hungry Sam Morgan back in 1999, and it’s this awesome spirit of entrepreneurialism we’re helping to foster this year through Startup Weekend Wellington.
Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement where entrepreneurs, developers and designers work together to form new businesses in a 54-hour marathon of inspiration, collaboration, and fun. We’re sponsoring the Wellington event, with our strategy manager Mike DelPrete providing expert advice on the judging panel, along with Michael Koziarski from Southgate Labs, Marie-Claire Andrews from SmartShow, Steve O'Connor from CreativeHQ, Elyssa Pallai from Pocket.Jobs, and Joseph Stuart from the Ministry of Science and Innovation.
We reckon it takes guts and a lot of gusto to start a business, so it’s sure to be an exciting event full of talented individuals. Good luck to everyone involved. More...
