The business model evokes an earlier era. Fifteen years ago, two of the hottest tech companies were incubators that held stakes in start-ups - Idealab and Internet Capital Group. ICG went public and had a market capitalisation of USD60Billion in December 1999, before it came crashing down (today its market capitalisation is USD750Million). Idealab, valued at USD7.9Billion in private fundraising, filed for an IPO in 2000 but later withdrew. Keep the history in mind as Rocket moves from incubator towards conglomerate. "
and today
AB Kinnevik and Rocket Internet to create global fashion e-commerce group: Global Fashion Group ("GFG" valuation of Euros2.7Billion).

Dafiti, Jabong, Lamoda, Namshi and Zalora to be combined into a single group of emerging markets focused fashion e-commerce brands

Global Fashion Group "GFG" largest shareholders are:

Investment AB Kinnevik with 25.1%,
Rocket Internet AG. with 23.5% and
Access Industries with 7.4%
My bet: AB Kinnevik plans soon a Global Fashion Group "GFG" IPO, like Zalando AG.'s IPO, to recover all the money they had invested and get rid of Rocket Internet AG. as its partner.
I suspect no one of those companies are designed to be profitable ever. They have big losses because they sell below cost to gain traction. All cloned companies seem like bubbles.
