DealTime Ltd.
 PROFILE
Compare before you shop, at least that's what DealTime.com wants you to do. The company's namesake Web site allows users to compare prices on everything from appliances and electronics to food and flowers. The user searches for an item, and the site lists options (which link directly to the seller's Web site). DealTime.com also provides consumer reviews and consumer information. It also has sites targeting Japan, the UK, and Germany. (Media giant Bertelsmann owns 49% of the European venture.) Rather than charge listing or transaction fees, the company charges fees for each customer it directs to a seller's Web site. DealTime.com is backed by venture capitalists such as Nomura Securities and Bain Capital.
