Nope \u2013 Klarna\u2019s tale begins with two teenagers working at Burger King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between cooking fries and flipping burgers, co-founders Sebastian Siemiatkowski and Niklas Adalberth had plenty of opportunities to discuss all manner of things, including business ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, while studying at the Stockholm School of Economics, Sebastian and Niklas met Victor Jacobsson. Together, they hatched a plan to create a revolutionary fintech company, and excitedly entered their idea in the school\u2019s annual entrepreneurship award. The judges weren\u2019t quite as enthusiastic, and the trio came in second-to-last place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of people would\u2019ve probably stopped there \u2013 but not these three. In 2005, while taking a year out from studies, they founded Klarna (or, as it was known then, Kreditor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For their business model to work, Klarna needed big commercial clients. However, they quickly realised that folks in the business world were unlikely to take three graduates with no experience in the financial industry very seriously. Famously, they bought expensive suits and switchboard-mimicking phone numbers to try and create credibility in the fintech market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>We\u2019ve always known that trust would be a crucial component in our business and in the beginning we believed it would be really difficult to achieve this as we were three young guys without any \u201creal\u201d finance experiences.<\/p><cite>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/luminarychiefs.com\/interviews\/klarna-co-founder-and-ceo-sebastian-siemiatkowski\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2013 Sebastian Siemiatkowski, Co-Founder<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, it was their dogged determination, resilience, and genuine belief in their product that got the ball rolling. An angel investor, seeing the potential in both the business and individuals behind it, descended from the heavens to give Klarna a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, they were able to construct a team to build the platform that would support Klarna going forward. With the foundations firmly established, they began to garner interest from Swedish clients, and by 2010, they\u2019d secured several further rounds of investment and began expanding into Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast-forward to 2022, and Klarna is a household name in eCommerce. They\u2019re now offering much more than a buy now pay later scheme \u2013 such as credit cards \u2013 and are on the way to becoming a full-fledged bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while their commercial value may have taken a hit recently, we doubt Klarna is going away anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"simba-sleep\"><\/span>Simba Sleep<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/simba-sleep-logo-vector-300x167.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/simba-sleep-logo-vector-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/simba-sleep-logo-vector-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/simba-sleep-logo-vector.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As we all know, you can\u2019t put a price on a good night\u2019s sleep. The founders of Simba obviously agree as they\u2019ve been on a mission to create the most comfortable mattresses on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simba is a relatively new eCommerce brand on the scene. Founded in 2015 by Steve Reid, James Cox, Andrew McClements and Harry McClemen, the four founders were entering a space already dominated by a number of mattress giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a number of brands were already selling mattresses, the Simba founders believed that the offerings that existed at the time were old-fashioned and that the industry as a whole was in need of innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To develop their product, market research was needed. Everyone needs a good night\u2019s sleep, and so there were plenty of places to gather information. In the end, researchers at Simba analysed the body profiles of over 10 million people to better understand what was required for their mattresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>We were looking for a real-life problem to solve\u2026 We wanted to come up with a product that was not only good value, but pioneering.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegentlemansjournal.com\/article\/how-simba-sleeps-founders-raised-58-million\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steve Reid, Co-Founder<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>They worked fast. Within the first year of business, Simba sold its first hybrid mattress. Over the next few years, they went on to secure \u00a358million of investment from big names, including the co-founder of Innocent, Richard Reed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simba took a very specific strategy when approaching investors. Rather than trying to secure funding from venture capitalists, they initially wanted to work with successful entrepreneurs who had already built huge businesses from scratch. They felt that these kinds of people would be able to bring the best ideas to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important thing to them when approaching investors was to ensure that their product was the best it could be. Although finances were, of course, very important, they understood they needed a product that could solve genuine problems for customers. As new kids on the block in a pretty stacked industry, this was especially true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we\u2019re in 2023, Simba is one of the most popular mattress manufacturers in the UK. While their mattresses remain their signature product, they\u2019ve expanded their offerings to include all the nighttime essentials such as beds, bedding, pillows, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just customers in the UK that get sleepy; Simba has also expanded into Europe and the United States, with further expansion in the works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, Simba Sleep shows us that taking the time to truly understand your customer\u2019s needs is a surefire way to building the business of your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"hellofresh\"><\/span>HelloFresh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/hellofresh-logo-vector-2021-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/hellofresh-logo-vector-2021-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/hellofresh-logo-vector-2021.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing that\u2019s just as important to many people as sleep, it\u2019s food.

It was a start-up in every sense of the word, reflected by the fact that the founders selected and hand-delivered everything to begin with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>We saw the golden window of opportunity to conquer untapped online space \u2013 the online grocery market \u2013 that was ripe for disruption, especially as supermarkets struggled to adapt to e-commerce realities.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellofreshgroup.com\/en\/newsroom\/stories\/10-years-hellofresh-from-start-up-to-scale-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dominik Richter, Co-Founder<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After receiving an initial round of funding, HelloFresh started to deliver the first iteration of the meal kits we know today in 2012.

Rather than taking on one territory at a time, they opted to pursue an ambitious global expansion programme just a few short years after delivering their first kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They didn\u2019t become profitable overnight; it took a significant investment in supply chain infrastructure and production capacity before the dial began to turn green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while HelloFresh received immense investor backing to help build where they are today, there\u2019s much more to the recipe of this success story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart branding, aggressive marketing, forensic consumer research, continuous product development, and much more have placed them where they are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all of their success has been achieved in a glamorous way, with INC naming them \u201cThe World\u2019s Most Ruthless Startup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you\u2019d be hard pressed to find anybody who hasn\u2019t heard of HelloFresh in modern times, the company is far from slowing down on the continuing quest for global food domination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In attempts to change the way consumers buy, eat, and enjoy food, HelloFresh is looking to use their well-developed infrastructure to continue expanding their products into new territories, and even have its eyes set on the ready-to-eat market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone hungry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"meesho\"><\/span>Meesho<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Meesho_Logo_Full-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Meesho_Logo_Full-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Meesho_Logo_Full-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Meesho_Logo_Full-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Meesho_Logo_Full.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You might not have heard of Meeso\u2026 yet. But as another unicorn company to make the list, the growth journey of this Indian eCommerce startup is nothing short of extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vidit Aatrey and Sanjeev Barnwal, two Indian college graduates, founded the business at the tail end of 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fashnear, as it was originally called, was set up with the intention of being a fashion platform that would allow local stores to register products on their app, giving consumers an opportunity to purchase garments online and have the items delivered to their doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it quickly became apparent that their business model wasn\u2019t quite right, as buyers were more interested in getting a good deal than shopping with a local store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than accepting failure and stopping there, Aatrey and Barnwal went back to the drawing room and created Meeso. The goal was still fashion, but with a different approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than connecting consumers with local stores, Meesho endeavours to connect buyers with entrepreneurs selling goods on social media platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal was to give resellers the ability to sell on goods without needing to invest significantly in operations, fulfilment, customer service, and other overheads. Meesho takes care of all logistics, payments, and even sends the buyer real-time updates on the status of their orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to providing a safe, secure, and convenient service to both consumers and sellers, Meesho has also achieved something even more significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the company, a large number of Meesho\u2019s 13 million entrepreneurs are women. In a culture where it\u2019s more difficult to have financial independence as a woman, Meesho is enabling women to carve their own path via making money online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a lot to be learned from Meesho, whether that\u2019s spinning a failure into a resounding success, or showing that businesses have the power to do a lot of good in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they\u2019re not operating in the West just yet, we\u2019re confident that we might see the Meesho app popping up in our regions pretty soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"thg-the-hut-group\"><\/span>THG (The Hut Group)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/download.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/download.png 225w, https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/download-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>THG, formally known as The Hut Group, is a UK eCommerce giant in every sense of the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting out as a humble entertainment retailer, THG are now one of the UK\u2019s biggest companies, operating as an ecommerce retailer, marketing agency, hosting provider, software developer, fulfilment partner, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specialising in health and beauty products, THG sells a wide range of goods through both first-party and third-party brands. In addition, they also provide a wealth of additional services for their partners to help them sell products online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it took time, commercial prowess, risk, and a good deal of learning for THG to get where they are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2004 by Matt Moulding and John Gallemore , The Hut Group made business by reselling CDs, video games, and other entertainment products in popular UK brick and mortar stores including WHSmith, Tesco, and Argos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a very different business to the one we know today, and for a while, it was successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, by 2007, the smartphone had started to take off, giving consumers access to a wide range of quality deals right at their fingertips, and so traditional physical sales began to suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was The Hut Group\u2019s willingness to adapt that paved the way for their success. Rather than resisting the tides, they moved with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, using the capital they\u2019d built off a successful few years of trading, The Hut Group acquired several eCommerce businesses to tap into the thriving eCommerce space. They also developed their own technology to facilitate the sale of goods online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>We took on two developers \u2013 with money I barely had \u2013 and built our own platform.
